Ingredients
Cookies
- ¾ cup butter, softened
- 1 ¼ cup granulated sugar, divided
- ½ cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- ⅔ cup eggnog
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¾ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Filling
- ½ cup softened butter
- 1 ounce cream cheese, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- pinch of salt
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- ¼ cup eggnog, or more as needed
Instructions
For the Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and lightly grease a large baking sheet. In a large bowl cream together butter, 1 cup sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (2-3 minutes on high speed). Add eggnog, eggs, and vanilla and mix until smooth.
- In a medium bowl whisk together flour, salt, baking soda, nutmeg, and cream of tartar. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix until combined.
- In a small bowl whisk together remaining 1/4 cup sugar and cinnamon. Roll cookie dough into 1-inch balls, then roll in the cinnamon-sugar mixture and place 1-inches apart on prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes until very lightly golden brown. Allow to cool completely on wire racks.
For the Filling
- In a large bowl cream together butter, cream cheese, and vanilla until very light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes on high speed. Add salt, and gradually add powdered sugar until completely incorporated. Add 1/4 cup eggnog and mix on high speed until light and creamy, about 3 minutes. Add more eggnog as needed to reach a smooth, spreadable consistency (but not runny).
- Flip half of the cookies up-side down, spread with filling, then top with a second cookie right-side up. Serve immediately or store in airtight container at room temperature up to 3 days.
