Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened
2 cups sugar
1 cup eggnog
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
5-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 large egg white, lightly beaten
Colored sugar
Vanilla frosting, optional
Directions:
Cream butter and sugar. Beat in eggnog, baking soda and nutmeg. Gradually add flour and mix well. Cover and chill one hour.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out half of the dough to 1/8-inch thickness.
Using floured 3-1/2-inch cookie cutters, cut into desired shapes; place on ungreased baking sheets. Repeat with remaining dough. Brush with egg white. Sprinkle with colored sugar.
Bake at 350 degrees until edges are lightly browned, 6-8 minutes. Cool on wire racks. If desired, decorate with frosting.
Editor's Note: This recipe was tested with commercially-prepared eggnog.
