Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 large Egg yolk
• 2 tablespoons Eggnog
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2.25 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons Eggnog (for glaze)
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Beat in the egg yolk, eggnog, and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ground nutmeg, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.

Step 6

Transfer the dough to a cookie press fitted with your desired design plate. Press the cookies onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1 inch apart.

Step 7

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges just start to turn light golden. Avoid overbaking to keep them tender.

Step 8

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

To make the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar and eggnog in a small bowl until smooth and spreadable.

Step 10

Drizzle or spoon the glaze over the cooled cookies and sprinkle with a pinch of ground nutmeg for garnish.

Step 11

Let the glaze set completely before serving or storing the cookies in an airtight container for up to one week.
