Tracey's Eggnog Cookies

INGREDIENTS:

For cookies:
1 cup margarine
1 cup white sugar
1 egg
1 cup light eggnog
3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt

For icing:
1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
3 tablespoons eggnog

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease cookie sheet or line with parchment paper. I prefer using parchment paper as it works every time, grease is unpredictable.

2. In a medium bowl, cream together the margarine and white sugar until smooth.

3. Stir in the egg and 1 cup eggnog.

4. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a seperate bowl.

5. Stir dry ingredients into the sugar mixture until it is well blended.

6. Drop by rounded spoonfuls onto the prepared cookie sheet.

7. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven.

8. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

9. To prepare the icing, put the confectioners' sugar into a small bowl. Stir in the remaining eggnog one tablespoon at a time until the desired consistency is reached.

10. Spread onto cooled cookies and let dry before serving. If desired, add sprinkles before icing dries for a festive look.

Enjoy!
