EGGNOG SHORTBREAD COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325ºF. LIne two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl using a handheld mixer beat the butter on high speed until creamy. Add the icing sugar, cornstarch, flour, nutmeg, and cinnamon and turn the mixer onto low speed at first and then increase the speed to high and beat until mixture is fluffy and light in color.
• Roll the cookie dough into balls about 1-inch in diameter placing 12 cookies on each pan. Bake the cookies one pan at a time for 24 minutes or until their undersides are lightly golden brown.
• Place the extra icing sugar in a small bowl and roll each cookie in the icing sugar to coat as soon as they come out of the oven being careful not to burn yourself or break the cookies.
• Let the cookies cool fully on a wire rack. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a large bowl until it just becomes light and fluffy, about 1 minute.
• Add flour, nutmeg and cinnamon. On low speed, beat until the dough just starts to come together, about 3 minutes.
• Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and press together to form a log. Divide the dough in half and form each piece of dough into a 6-inch log. Wrap in parchment paper and chill for at least 2 hours, up to two days.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Slice each log into ¼ to ¾ inch slices and evenly space on the baking sheets. You should have about 40 cookies.
• Bake until the bottom edges of the cookies just start to brown, 14-16 minutes.
• Allow cookies to cool completely before icing.
• Whisk the powdered sugar and eggnog liqueur together until smooth. If needed add additional liqueur or powdered sugar to get a consitency that is thick enough to ice the cookie with.
• Evenly spread the icing on the cookies, about ½ teaspoon per cookie, and if you want, add luster dust or other sprinkles and enjoy!
