Cook Time: 8 Min
Original Recipe Yield 6 dozen

Ingredients:

1 cup margarine, softened
2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup eggnog
1/2 tsp nutmeg
5 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

3 cups confectioners' sugar
1/4 cup margarine, softened
1/3 cup eggnog

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.   Grease cookie sheets. 

For cookies:

In a large bowl, cream together the margarine and sugar until smooth.   Add eggnog, baking soda and nutmeg.  Mix well.  Gradually add the flour, mix until well blended.  Divide dough in half, wrap well and refrigerate overnight.

Roll half of dough to 1/8" thickness, cut with a floured cookie cutter.  Bake for 8 - 10 minutes or until lightly browned.  Cool.  Frost.


For frosting:

In a small bowl, beat confectioner's sugar and butter until well blended.  Gradually beat in eggnog until icing is smooth.

NOTE:

** Instead of using cookie cutters, may be rolled into small balls then pressed with powdered sugar dipped fingers.  Bake as directed.
