Calories: 91kcal
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup Butter Unsalted, Room temperature
- 2 Eggs Large
- ¼ cup Eggnog
- 1 box Cake mix Yellow or white, Must be a 15.25 oz cake box
- ½ teaspoon Nutmeg powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 cup Granulated sugar For rolling cookie dough balls
Eggnog Glaze (Optional)
- 2 tablespoon Eggnog
- 1-2 cups Powdered sugar Adjust, based on the consistency you want
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, add butter, eggs, eggnog and mix until smooth.
- Add cake mix, nutmeg, baking powder and mix until just combined.
- Chill dough for 1 hour so that it's easier to handle.
- Scoop out small portions of the dough and make small balls. Flatten them VERY slightly if you don't want them to bake too round and tall.
- Roll them in a bowl of sugar and place them on a cookie tray, lined with parchment paper.
- Bake at 350 degrees F for about 10-12 minutes or until edges are firm and golden brown.
- Optional: While the cookies are baking, prepare the glaze by combining together eggnog and powdered sugar until you have a thick drizzling consistency.
- When the cookies cool down completely, drizzle some eggnog glaze on them if you like and enjoy.

- Leftovers (non-glazed cookies) can be stored in a cookie jar at room temperature for up to 3 days and glazed cookies must be stored in a sealed container in the fridge for up up to 3 days.
