EGGNOG COOKIES

Steps:

• Make the cookies: Sift together the flour, ginger, nutmeg, allspice, cinnamon and salt in a large bowl.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the butter and granulated sugar and beat until creamy and light, 5 to 8 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula so all of the butter and sugar fully integrate. Beat in the egg yolks, one by one, and then the vanilla. Gently mix the dry ingredients into the butter mixture until it forms a soft dough. Using plastic wrap, shape the dough into one log 10 inches long and about 2 inches in diameter. Chill until firm, about 2 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line two baking sheets with parchment.
• Bake the cookies: Unwrap and use a sharp knife to cut the logs into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Arrange the cookies 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheets. In every other cookie, cut a hole about 1 inch in diameter with a small round cutter. Bake the cookies until light golden in color, 12 to 14 minutes. Set aside to cool.
• Make the icing: Combine the confectioners' sugar and butter in the bowl of the mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat until smooth, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the cream and rum and mix until blended.
• Make the dusting sugar: In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar, nutmeg, cayenne and lemon and orange zests. Set aside.
• Assemble the cookies: After the cookies have cooled, put the icing on the cookies without holes (about 1 teaspoon per cookie) and top each with a cookie with a hole to make sandwiches. Don't press down. Place the tops on gently so the icing doesn't leak out of the sides.
• Make the caramel: Heat the granulated sugar in a small skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until all of the sugar melts. Once melted, do not stir but swirl the pan until the sugar is amber, about 6 minutes.
• Drizzle each cookie with the caramel and top with the dusting sugar.

EGGNOG COOKIES

Steps:

• For the dough: In a bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, nutmeg and cream of tartar. Set aside. *MAKE SURE YOU GENTLY SPOON YOUR FLOUR INTO YOUR MEASURING CUP, VS SCOOPING THE FLOUR. SCOOPING CAN RESULT IN TOO MUCH FLOUR.
• In a separate bowl, cream the butter and sugars until fluffy. Add the eggs, eggnog and vanilla or rum extract. Mix well.
• Stir in the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined.
• Cover bowl (or remove dough from bowl and wrap in plastic wrap) and chill for 1+ hours.

• Place on a greased baking sheet or a cookie sheet covered with wax paper or silicone baking mat.
• Bake 8-9 minutes. Do not overbake. Allow to cool on baking sheet for at least ten minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack.

MELT IN YOUR MOUTH GRAM'S SCRATCH BISCUITS

Steps:

• 1. Preheat your oven to 450 degrees
• 2. Sift dry ingredients into a bowl and yes I still sift my flour when making breads it does make a difference. If you don't have a flour sifter, take a knife and cut thru your flour a bit to fluff it before measuring and never take your one cup and scoop up your flour, this packs it. Take a scoop or a large spoon and add it to your 1 cup holder then level it off with a knife. Best part is you just use regular flour, that's the way we did thing before we had all these choices!
• 3. BTW.. some of you may say this has baking power why do I need cream of tartar, trust me this is the one ingredient that makes the difference! I put 1/2 heaping tsp because a lot of measuring spoon don't have a 1/4 to make it 3/4 tsp. If your set does then you can measure it that way.
• 4. Now the key to great biscuits is how you cut in shortening (shhhh big secret) don't dump all your shortening in a lump, use a knife and cut small pieces into your bowl all around your flour. Then start the mix with that same knife cutting thru your flour (forget that pastry knife lol) with clean hands get in there and work the shortening between your fingers until there is no loose flour in the bottom and mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• 5. Add buttermilk and stir dough with that same knife around bowl, I just keep cutting thru and turning the bowl till all course crumbs have blended to a nice soft dough that forms a ball and pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
• 6. Your dough will be a tad sticky that's ok just grab a tiny pinch of flour and sprinkle on top and start working the dough, fold over couple of times, add a tiny pinch of flour again and fold twice that's probably enough flour now just fold a couple more times the sides of your bowl should be clean now, don't over work the dough. Adding too much flour will make your biscuits dry so just do a pinch at a time. I basically just coat my hand with flour and fold it in till it isn't sticky.
• 7. Take your dough out to a flat surface now if you worked your dough good you really won't need to flour your surface, I usually spill a little flour measuring so I just rub that over my surface. Just pat your dough out to the thickness you like 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick I do mine 3/4" the size of my cutter. Cut with a cutter I use a 2 3/4 inch one, or use a glass edge the size you like, Gram's used a snuff glass remember those? If using a glass you might want to dip it in the flour before cutting.
• 8. Bake on an ungreased cookie sheet (I use my flat iron skillet) at 450 degrees for 10 to 15 minutes, or until just golden brown. I check mine at 10 minutes and usually almost done with a 2 3/4 inch cutter size biscuit. If you cut yours smaller they will probably be done at 10, so watch them close as ovens differ also. This makes about a bakers dozen depending on your cutter and thickness! I always have 11 and one smaller made from the left over dough.
• 9. As you see in my picture I like my biscuits thick. These will cut in half like cutting thru butter and melt in your mouth! These are so easy don't let the long directions scare ya off I just put in a lot of details. You will never use canned biscuits again!! To reheat leftover biscuits, wrap in foil and heat in a 300 degree oven for 10 minutes.

EGGNOG-BISQUICK BISCUITS BY CIN

Steps:

• 1. Pre-heat your oven to 400°F. Melt 1/2 c butter. Pour half of the melted butter into a baking dish and set aside. Reserve rest for later.
• 2. In a small mixing bowl place 2 c Bisquick. Now make a well in the middle of the Bisquick and pour in your eggnog a bit at a time, stirring together, to get a wet sticky batter.
• 3. You don't want it dry, but not too wet either (use as much as needed).
• 4. Drop biscuit dough by spoonfuls into the baking dish, with the melted butter already in it. Press down a bit with the back of a buttery spoon (not too flat though).
• 5. Now pour the reserved melted butter over the biscuits (being sure each biscuit get some). Bake for 12-to-14 minutes, until golden brown.
• 6. I made 6 nice size biscuits.
