Eggnog Snickerdoodles Recipe

Prep: 1-1/2 hours Bake: 10 min./batch + cooling

Yield: 92 Servings

90 10 100

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup shortening
2 cups plus 5 tablespoons sugar, divided
1 egg
1 teaspoon rum extract
1/2 cup evaporated milk
1/2 cup refrigerated French vanilla nondairy creamer
5-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
ICING:
1 cup confectioners' sugar
5 to 6 teaspoons refrigerated French vanilla nondairy creamer

Directions

In a large bowl, cream the butter, shortening and 2 cups sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and extract. Combine milk and creamer; set aside. Combine the flour, salt and baking soda. Gradually add to the creamed mixture alternately with milk mixture, beating well after each addition.
In a small bowl, combine nutmeg and remaining sugar. Shape dough into 1-in. balls; roll in nutmeg mixture. Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets; flatten slightly with a glass.
Bake at 350° for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool for 2 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
For icing, combine confectioners' sugar and enough creamer to achieve desired consistency. Pipe snowflake designs on cookies. Yield: 7-1/2 dozen.

Delicious! I did substitute prepared egg nog for the creamer and it turned out beautifully!

I made these last year for Christmas with about a dozen other varieties, several people mentioned they really liked these the best. My husband also requested they be added to this years list again! Very good.
