Snowman Eggnog Recipes

Steps:

• Combine 1 cup butter and sugar in large bowl; beat at medium speed until creamy. Add egg, whipping cream, 1 teaspoon rum extract and vanilla; continue beating until well mixed. Reduce speed to low; add all remaining cookie ingredients. Beat until well mixed.
• Divide dough in half. Shape each half into a ball; flatten slightly. Wrap each in plastic food wrap; refrigerate until firm (2 to 3 hours).
• Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Roll out dough on lightly floured surface, one-half at a time (keeping remaining dough refrigerated), to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut with 2 1/4-inch snowflake-shaped cookie cutters. Place 1 inch apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake for 6 to 8 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Remove to wire cooling rack. Cool completely.
• Combine powdered sugar, 2 teaspoons butter, corn syrup and 1/4 teaspoon rum extract in small bowl. Beat at medium speed, adding enough water for desired glazing consistency.
• Place wire cooling rack with cookies over waxed paper. Brush glaze over cookies; decorate as desired. Let stand until set.

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar and butter.
• Beat at medium speed, scraping the bowl often, until mixture is creamy (1-2 minutes).
• Add 1/3 cup eggnog, egg, and vanilla extract.
• Continue beating until well mixed (1-2 minutes).
• Reduce speed to low and add flour, baking powder, nutmeg, and salt.
• Beat until dough is well mixed (1-2 minutes).
• Divide dough in half and wrap each half in plastic wrap.
• Refrigerate dough until firm, at least 1 hour.

• Roll out dough, one half at a time, on a lightly floured work surface to a 1/4 inch thickness.
• Cut out cookies with 3-4 inch snowman cookie cutter.
• Place 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheet (I use silipat mat).
• Bake for 8-10 minutes until lightly browned.

• Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, mix all frosting ingredients until creamy.
