My picky 5 year old is obsessed with eggnog. Everytime we go to the store he has to buy eggnog. What is up with that? I had all of the ingredients on hand to make these and they were easy to whip up a batch. I love how these cookies meltaway in your mouth and have a subtle eggnog taste. They were delicious!

Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cup flour
- 1/2 cup corn starch
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup butter softened
- 3/4 teaspoon rum extract
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/4 cup eggnog
- 1 cup powdered sugar for rolling
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350. Line two baking sheets with parchment or spray with cooking spray. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, corn starch, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, beat together the butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Add the rum extract, vanilla, and eggnog, and mix to combine. Add the dry ingredients and mix to form a thick dough.
- Shape the dough into one inch balls and place 1-2 inches apart on the baking sheets. Bake 12-14 minutes, or until lightly browned on the bottom. Remove and let cool 15 minutes, then roll in powdered sugar.

Very disappointed with this recipe. They are very DRY and crumble yet uncooked in the center. Won’t be making these again. These certainly are not melting moment cookies.
Making these for Christmas tomorrow! Would they keep well until 5 pm 12/25 if I made them tonight? Thank you!
Since the recipe was adjusted I want to make them for my grams using bourbon instead of rum, how many do they make?
I love eggnog. I just made these and they are very disappointing. I made as directed for my cookie exchange. Can’t tell there is eggnog in them and make sure to have a glass of milk when they ‘melt away’ in your mouth. Tastes like flour.
