"Gimme Thrive" Eggnog Cookies

Most of my family loves eggnog, so finding an eggnog-ish cookie recipe was a fun discovery that we've come to love (most of us....still have an eggnog-hating child).

I thought I'd try using the Thrive Vanilla Sugar Cookie Mix with it and see how it turned out.

LOVE IT!

But really, you can use any sugar cookie recipe or mix.  Just add in the rum extract and nutmeg to the dough before baking and mix it in well.  Still why not use a mix that's ready to go and sooooo delicious!

Enjoy!!



Ingredients:
3/4 c. butter
1 egg
2 tbsp. water
1 tsp. rum extract
1 tsp. nutmeg
3 1/3 c. THRIVE Vanilla Sugar Cookie Mix

Glaze
4 tbsp. butter, melted
2 c. powdered sugar
1/2 tsp. rum extract
2 tbsp.water

Directions:
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Cream the butter in a mixer. Add in the egg, water, nutmeg, and rum extract. Scrape down sides of bowl. Add cookie mix and mix until well blended.

Drop cookie dough by small cookie-scoopfuls onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges just start to turn golden. Remove to rack to cool completely.

Glaze: Combine the glaze ingredients and whisk well to create a smooth glaze. Pour by teaspoonfuls onto cooled cookies. Dust with a little nutmeg, if desired.
