Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 1 large Egg
- 0.75 cup Eggnog
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy using a hand or stand mixer. Add the egg and beat until smooth.
Step 4
Pour in the eggnog and vanilla extract and mix until the wet ingredients are fully combined.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until the dough comes together. Avoid overmixing.
Step 6
Take about a tablespoon of dough and roll it into a 6-inch rope. Fold the rope into a pretzel or figure-8 shape and place it on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes, or until the edges are just starting to turn golden. Do not overbake to maintain softness.
Step 8
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the pan for 2–3 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Serve the Eggnog Kringla Cookies as they are or dust them lightly with powdered sugar for a festive touch. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
