SPICED EGGNOG RUM COOKIES



Spiced Eggnog Rum Cookies image

One year, when I had a lot of eggnog on hand, I created a new holiday cookie recipe. The flavor is subtle, but somehow it transforms regular sugar cookies into something special for the holidays. -Mark Banick, Turner, Oregon

Eggnog (Spiked with Rum) image

I was really never a fan of eggnog... until a friend gave me this proven recipe. It's simply the best! It's rich and creamy, just like melted vanilla ice cream. This makes almost a gallon and packs a punch... so drink responsibly.

RUM-KISSED EGGNOG



Rum-Kissed Eggnog image

While it wouldn't be the holidays without eggnog for us, we really wanted to come up with a cooked eggnog that wasn't too heavy to enjoy. Cooking both the yolks and the whites removes any raw egg danger, leaving you with a perfect-for-parties drink that can be scaled up or down as you need.

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 cups milk
2 large strips lemon zest
1 large strip orange zest
1 vanilla bean, split and vanilla beans scraped loose
4 large egg yolks
1/2 cup sugar, plus 2 tablespoons
2 egg whites
2/3 cup white rum
2 to 3 tablespoons bourbon, optional
Freshly grated nutmeg, for serving
Finely grated orange and/or lemon zest, for serving

Steps:

  • Put 2 cups milk, both citrus zests, vanilla bean, and beans in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Meanwhile, whisk the egg yolks and 1/2 cup sugar in a bowl until lightened in color.
  • Gradually whisk the hot milk into the eggs. Return the egg mixture to the pan and set over medium heat. Stir constantly with a wooden spoon in a figure 8 motion until the custard thickens slightly and coats the back of the spoon, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and immediately stir in the remaining cup milk to stop the cooking. Remove the vanilla bean pod and zest strips; discard. Transfer custard to a large bowl; cool to room temperature. To speed this up, set the bowl in a larger bowl of ice.
  • Put about 1 inch water in a saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Put the egg whites and remaining 2 tablespoons sugar in a heatproof bowl large enough to rest in the saucepan without touching the water. Set the bowl over the simmering water and beat until the sugar dissolves and the egg whites feel warm to the touch, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat and beat the whites with an electric mixer until they hold soft peaks, about 3 minutes. Fold the egg whites into custard mixture. Add the rum and bourbon, if using, cover, and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • Transfer the eggnog to a punch bowl or pitcher. Pour into small cups and top with freshly grated nutmeg and citrus zest.

Tips:

  • Soften the butter and cream cheese: This will make them easier to mix together and create a smoother cookie dough.
  • Chill the dough: This will help the cookies hold their shape while baking and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Use a cookie scoop: This will help you get evenly sized cookies that will bake evenly.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set: Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely: This will help them firm up and develop their full flavor.

Conclusion:

These spiced eggnog rum cookies are the perfect holiday treat. They are soft, chewy, and full of flavor. The eggnog and rum give them a unique and festive flavor that is sure to please everyone. They are also easy to make and can be made ahead of time, making them a great option for busy holiday bakers. Whether you are hosting a party or simply enjoying a quiet night in, these cookies are sure to be a hit.
