- Ingredients:
- 10
- Yields:
-
60 cookies
ingredients
- 4 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1⁄2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon nutmeg
- 3⁄4 cup butter, softened
- 1 1⁄2 cups sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 1⁄4 cups eggnog
- sifted powdered sugar, for decorating
- nutmeg, for decorating
directions
- In a bowl combine flour, baking powder and soda, and nutmeg. Set aside.
- In a large bowl beat butter and sugar till fluffy. Add egg and beat well.
- To the butter/sugar/egg mixture, stir in half of egg nog. Then stir in half of flour mixture. Stir in remaining eggnog and then flour mixture. It will be very stiff.
- Cover and chill at least 2 hours.
- To make them quickly, drop them by small spoonfuls on a baking sheet. To make them in the traditional manner: Working with 1/3 of dough at time (keep the rest of the dough chilled), separate dough into 1-inch balls and roll between floured hands into a pencil-like shape, about as long as your hand. On a baking sheet loop one end over the other to form an oval with two ends overlapping (to look like the Christian fish).
- Bake at 350 for 8-12 minutes before edges brown. They won't look done, but they are.
- Sprinkle with nutmeg and powdered sugar.

These are absolutely delicious cookies, soft and cakelike. I took your advice and took the cookies out of the oven after 8 minutes, even though they didn't look done, but when I bit into one, they were done. I also made a buttercream icing, substituting eggnog for the milk. Thanks for this great recipe, which I'll be making every year from now on.

Great eggnog flavor!Very cake like texture. I used light eggnog witch worked out fine. I didn't roll them out into an oval shape i just shaped them into a ball. I had to cook them for 15 minutes but tasted delcious! Next time(there will defianlty be) i will probaly add golden raisins! thanks for the recipe!
