How to Make Eggnog Sparkle Cookies
- Whisk together 4 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg. Set aside.
- Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar at medium speed with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 4 large egg yolks, one at a time, until fully incorporated.
- Gradually blend in 1 cup eggnog until smooth.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients (flour mixture) to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Refrigerate the dough for at least 2 hours, or until firm enough to handle.
- In a shallow dish, combine ½ cup granulated sugar, ¼ cup cinnamon sugar, and food coloring of your choice (optional).
- Roll the chilled dough into ¾-inch balls.
- Roll each dough ball in the colored sugar mixture to coat evenly.
- Place the cookies 2 inches apart on lightly greased baking sheets.
- Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 8-10 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
