Preheat oven to 375〫
Cookie:
1 1/3 Cup butter, softened
2 cups sugar
2 eggs
2/3 cup eggnog
2 tsp dark rum ( I used Meyers)
4 1/2 cup flour
1 tsp salt
Frosting:
4 TBL butter, softened
2 cups confectioners sugar
2 tsp dark run
4 drops yellow food coloring
3 tbl egg nog
1/4 tsp nutmeg (use fresh ground if possible, it does make a difference)
Combine all ingredients for cookies in the order listed. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
Drop by teaspoonful onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for about 12 minutes. When cookies are done, pressing on the centers lightly should leave no impression. Do not overbake.
Combine all frosting ingredients together with an electric mixer until frosting consistency. Frost cookies and sprinkle very lightly with nutmeg.
