How to Make Eggnog Sticks

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Whisk together the dry ingredients: 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon in a large bowl.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1/4 cup rum (optional).
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Roll the dough into 1-inch diameter rolls. Cut into 2-inch lengths. Place onto prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Immediately transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. **For the frosting:** In a medium bowl, beat together 1/2 cup (1 stick) softened unsalted butter, 3 cups powdered sugar, 2-4 tablespoons milk (or eggnog for extra flavor), and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  8. Once the cookies are completely cool, frost them generously.
  9. Finish with a generous dusting of freshly grated nutmeg.
