Ingredients
Cookies:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp ground nutmeg
- ½ tsp ground ginger
- ¼ tsp ground clove
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¾ cups unsalted butter room temperature
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ cup eggnog
Eggnog Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar

Instructions
Cookies:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Set aside.
- Combine the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves and salt in a medium sized bowl, whisk and set aside.
- Cream the butter and sugars together in a large mixer bowl until combined. It should be light in colour and fluffy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix. Add the eggnog and mix until well combined.
- Add the dry ingredients and mix until the flour is fully incorporated. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Once cooled, scoop out cookie dough and roll into a ball. Place on cookie sheet.
- Bake cookies for 9-11 minutes. The cookies will spread and the centers will look soft, but should look done. Remove just as the edges begin to turn golden.
Eggnog Glaze:
- If using the glaze, combine the powdered sugar, eggnog and nutmeg in a small bowl and whisk to combine.
- Drizzle the glaze over the cookies and allow to dry.
