TOTAL TIME: Prep: 25 min. Bake: 40 min. + cooling

You may substitute additional eggnog if rum isn't your thing. For a variation, try using one of the flavored eggnogs available around the holidays. —Shannon Dobos, Calgary, Alberta
Ingredients
-
1/2 cup butter, softened
-
1 cup sugar
-
2 large eggs, room temperature
-
1/4 cup eggnog
-
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
2-1/3 cups all-purpose flour
-
2 teaspoons baking powder
-
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
-
Dash salt
-
GLAZE:
-
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
-
3 to 5 teaspoons eggnog
-
1 teaspoon dark rum, optional
Directions
-
1.
Preheat oven to 375°. Beat butter and sugar until blended. Beat in eggs, 1 at a time. Beat in eggnog and vanilla. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, nutmeg and salt; gradually beat into butter mixture (dough will be sticky).
-
2.
Divide dough in half. On a greased baking sheet, shape each portion into a 12x3-in. rectangle. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 16-19 minutes. Reduce oven setting to 300°. Remove rectangles from pans to wire racks; cool 10 minutes.
-
3.
Place rectangles on a cutting board. Using a serrated knife, trim ends of rectangles and cut diagonally into 1/2-in. slices. Return to baking sheets, cut side down. Bake until firm, about 10 minutes per side. Remove from pans to wire racks; cool completely.
-
4.
Mix glaze ingredients. Drizzle over biscotti with a spoon.
