Do you like Egg Nog??

I do. I look forward to it coming available each year around Thanksgiving. I am the only one in my house that likes it and we are about to be gone for some time so I needed to come up with a recipe to use up some . . . This is the cookie that I conjured up today.

EggNog Almond Treats

cream:
1 cup brown sugar
1 stick butter

add to mixer & beat until batter forms:
2 large eggs
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp almond extract
2 cups AP flour

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Drop by teaspoon on to ungreased baking stone. Place 1 whole natural almond in the center of each cookie. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until edges are turn golden brown. Let rest on stone for about a minute, then remove to rack to cool.

EggNog Glaze

1/2 powder sugar
2 tbs egg nog (more if needed to thin out)

Stir until drizzling consistency. Drizzle over cookies - Enjoy!
