Ingredients

Cookies

1 cup butter room temperature
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
3/4 cup eggnog
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large egg
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt

Glaze

3 tablespoons eggnog
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon for dusting

Instructions

Cookies

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, add in the 1 cup butter and 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar. Beat with a hand mixer until light and fluffy. It will take about 2 - 3 minutes.
Add in the 3/4 cup eggnog and mix until combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
Add in the1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1 large egg. Mix until incorporated.
Add in the 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon saltBeat until the flour is just incorporated.
Scoop out the cookie dough using a large cookie scoop.
Place in the oven and bake for 11 - 14 minutes until done. The edges will be golden brown.
Place on a cooling rack and let cool before adding the glaze.

Glaze

In a small bowl, whisk together the 3 tablespoons eggnog and 3/4 cup powdered sugar.
Spoon the glaze onto the cooled cookies.
Before the glaze dries, lightly dust with 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. I place a very small amount of cinnamon into a small strainer and give it a tap over each cookie. Be sure to hold it high above the cookies to give it a spread out dusted look.

Notes

Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
