Bourbon-Spiked Frosted Eggnog Cookies by Lillie Auld

Directions

Make Cookies:

1. Preheat oven to350°F.
2. Line a baking sheet with parchment. Whisk together flour, baking powder, spices, and salt. Set aside.
3. Beat together butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Add egg and mix until combined, scraping down the bowl as necessary.
5. Mix in bourbon and Rodelle Vanilla Extract - don’t if it looks curdled - then add the flour mixture and stir until fully incorporated.
6. Scoop cookies onto the prepared sheet about 2 inches apart. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
7. Let cool on the baking sheet for several minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Make Frosting:

1. Beat butter in a large bowl for a minute or two, then sift in powdered sugar and continue to mix for a few minutes more.
2. Add bourbon and beat until the frosting is smooth.
3. Generously spread each cookie with frosting and top each with a sprinkle of nutmeg.
