Glazed Eggnog Cookies - these light, shortbread style cookies are perfect for Christmas treats. The have a hint of eggnog & a delicate glaze that's perfect!
Ingredients
For the cookies:
-
3/4 cup vegetable shortening (142 g or 5 oz)
-
4 Tbsp. salted butter, softened
-
2 eggs
- 1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup Eggnog
-
3 cups self-rising flour
-
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
-
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
- 1 cup SPLENDA® Naturals Sugar & Stevia Blend
- 4 Tbsp. Eggnog
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Cream together the shortening, SPLENDA®, eggs, and butter until smooth. Then mix in the vanilla and eggnog. When it's combined, add the flour, cinnamon and nutmeg and mix until it comes together.
Scoop the cookie dough onto a prepared cookie sheet (lined with a silicone mat or parchment paper). I like to use a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop or you could use a spoon and make the scoops about the size of walnuts.
Bake for 11 minutes, then remove and let them cool on a cooling rack. While the cookies are baking, you can make the glaze. Start by putting the SPLENDA® Naturals Sugar & Stevia Blend into a food processor and blending until it's powdery. You can skip this step if you want, but your glaze will have the graininess of sugar if you do. Then put the SPLENDA® Naturals Sugar & Stevia Blend, eggnog and vanilla into a bowl and mix until smooth.
I like to place the cookies on a cooling rack, then place that over a cookie sheet and drizzle with the glaze. You could also dip the top of the cookies into the glaze or spoon it on! Whatever works for you 🙂 To make these festive, I also added Christmas sprinkles but that's totally optional 😉
