Calories: 147kcal
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg plus more for topping
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 3/4 cup Horizon Organic unsalted butter at room temperature
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed light-brown sugar
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon rum extract
- 1/2 cup Silk Nog
To make the frosting:
- 1/2 cup Horizon Organic Butter at room temperature (I used 1/4 cup salted and 1/4 cup unsalted butter)
- 3 - 5 Tablespoons Silk Nog
- 1/2 teaspoon rum extract
- 3 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, nutmeg and cinnamon, set aside. Using the paddle attachment of your stand mixer, whip together butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar until pale and fluffy. Mix in egg yolks one at a time, blending just until combined after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract, rum extract and Silk Nog. With mixer set on low, slowly add in dry ingredients and mix until combined. Scoop dough out by the heaping tablespoonfuls and drop onto parchment paper lined baking sheets, spacing cookies 2" apart. Bake in preheated oven 11 - 13 minutes. Allow to rest on baking sheet a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool. Cool completely then frost. Sprinkle tops lightly with nutmeg.
For the Frosting:
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, whip butter until very pale and fluffy. Add in rum extract and 3 Tablespoons Silk Nog, mix in powdered sugar. Add additional nog to reach desired consistency.
