Engaging Eggnog Icing
Do you have some leftover eggnog, too? Not a problem. This simple eggnog icing is the perfect topping for eggnog cookies, and they taste the very best topped with both icing and nutmeg!
Ingredients
Method
- If it is fresh out of the refrigerator, allow eggnog to approach room temperature for 20 minutes or so.
- Set the confectioners sugar (and cream of tartar if desired) in a bowl and add about half of the eggnog.
- Mix slowly, adding more eggnog as you go until you achieve the desired consistency.
- Store in a zip-top bag or icing bag.
- After icing has been completely mixed, you may add more confectioners sugar to thicken a bit further. You may add small amounts of eggnog, about a teaspoon at a time, to thin it down for other purposes, such as color flow if you are coloring the icing.
- Ice cooled cookies before the icing hardens.

Notes
Makes just about two cups of icing. Mix with a stand mixer or hand mixer (or a whisk and determination).
The best food coloring is powdered coloring, as it will not adversely affect the consistency of the icing.
This is a great icing to drizzle over yellow cake, too.
