Ingredients
  

For the Cookies

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup packed brown sugar
  • ¼ cup eggnog
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 ¼ Tbsp cornstarch
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp salt

For the Frosting

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 Tbsp eggnog
  • 2 cups confectioners' sugar

Instructions
 

Make the Cookies

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a mixer, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.
  • Add the egg, vanilla, and eggnog, mixing well to combine.
  • Gradually incorporate the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt until a soft dough forms.
  • Scoop the dough into small balls using a small ice cream scoop for uniform size, placing them onto the prepared baking sheets.
  • Bake for 10 minutes. After baking, gently flatten each cookie with a flat-bottomed cup and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheets.

Make the Frosting

  • In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, salt, vanilla, and confectioners' sugar until smooth.
  • Add the eggnog, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the frosting is light and fluffy.
  • Transfer the frosting to a piping bag for easy application.

Assemble

  • Once the cookies are completely cool, pipe the eggnog frosting onto each one.
  • Optionally, sprinkle a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg on top for extra holiday flavor.
