{taste this} vanilla nutmeg cookies with eggnog glaze

I love eggnog.  I mean, I really LOVE eggnog.  Eggnog coffee creamer ... I just pinned eggnog coffee cake on Pinterest ... eggnog scented candles ... and I could drink the stuff by the gallon!  So when we had a holiday party to go to, I just had to make some sort of eggnog-inspired treat.  And boy did I ... using only 6 ingredients!! 

Check out this week's {taste this  recipe ... vanilla nutmeg cookies with eggnog glaze!! 

Though you could definitely use any standard sugar or vanilla cookie recipe, mine are a twist on cake mix cookies!!  And they are drizzled with a delectable eggnog glaze that I could eat by the spoonful ... delish!!

Vanilla nutmeg cake mix cookies

Mix together:

• 1 vanilla cake mix
• 1 teaspoon nutmeg
• 2 large eggs
• 1/3 cup vegetable oil

This cookie batter is really thick, so you'll definitely get sticky fingers dropping rounded teaspoons of batter on a cookie sheet lightly sprayed with nonstick spray.  But that's okay ... that just means you get to lick your fingers when you're done ;)  Bake at 350* F for about 11 minutes until cookies are very lightly golden brown - just make sure the centers are baked through.

Once the cookies are cooled, drizzle with Eggnog Glaze.

Eggnog Glaze

Mix together:

• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• About 2-3 tablespoons eggnog - I used eggnog flavored coffee creamer :)

Thin glaze with additional eggnog so it can be easily drizzled over your cookies.  I put the glaze in a Wilton squeeze bottle and swirled it on each cookie.  Add a dash of nutmeg sprinkled on top and enjoy!!

Munch.  Lick fingers.  Repeat, repeat, repeat!

Hope you were inspired to {taste this}!!

Grab a cookie and toast this holiday season!
