For a richer flavor, consider using brown butter instead of softened butter in the cookie dough. If you don't have rum extract, you can substitute with an equal amount of dark rum or omit it entirely. To prevent the cookies from sticking, make sure your baking sheets are well-lined with parchment paper. Feel free to experiment with different extracts and spices to customize the flavor of your cookies. Store the iced cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, nutmeg, and cinnamon. This ensures even distribution of the spices. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
02
StepIn a large bowl, cream together the granulated sugar and softened butter using an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the eggnog, vanilla extract, and rum extract. (Mixing time: 7 minutes)
03
StepGradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing by hand until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. Form the dough into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight. This step is crucial for preventing the cookies from spreading during baking. (Chill time: 120+ minutes)
04
StepPreheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper. (Prep time: 10 minutes)
05
StepOn a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to a 1/2-inch thickness. Use cookie cutters to cut out desired shapes. Place the cookies about 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheets. (Prep time: 20 minutes)
06
StepBake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. (Bake time: 8-10 minutes)
07
StepWhile the cookies are cooling, prepare the icing. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggnog, corn syrup, vanilla extract, rum extract, and nutmeg until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, whisking until the icing reaches your desired consistency. (Icing prep time: 10 minutes)
08
StepOnce the cookies are completely cool, dip the tops of the cookies into the icing, allowing the excess to drip off. Place the iced cookies on waxed paper or a wire rack to allow the icing to set completely. (Decoration time: 20+ minutes)
