Ingredients
•
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
•
1/2 cup white sugar
•
1/2 cup brown sugar
•
1 large egg
•
2/3 cup eggnog
•
1/2 teaspoon brandy flavoring
•
2 dashes all-purpose flour
•
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
•
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
•
1/4 teaspoon salt
•
3/4 cup powdered sugar, or more to taste
•
5 teaspoons eggnog, or more to taste
•
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
•
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2
Cream butter, white sugar, and brown sugar for cookies in a large bowl. Add egg and beat well. Mix in eggnog and brandy flavoring until smooth.
3
Combine flour, baking soda, nutmeg, and salt in another bowl. Add to the eggnog mixture in 2 additions, mixing well after each addition until no dry flour remains.
4
Drop tablespoonfuls of dough 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets.
5
Bake in the preheated oven until the edges are just golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Let stand on the cookie sheets for 5 minute before removing to a wire rack to cool completely, about 30 minutes.
6
Beat 3/4 cup powdered sugar, 5 teaspoons eggnog, butter, and nutmeg for icing in a small bowl until thick and barely pourable. Add more powdered sugar or eggnog if necessary.
7
Drizzle icing over cooled cookies and decorate with candy sprinkles.
