Cake Mix Eggnog Cookies
These soft and chewy eggnog cookies are an easy holiday treat made with cake mix. Topped with a rich eggnog buttercream, they're the perfect way to enjoy festive flavors without spending hours in the kitchen.
Ingredients
Cookies
- 1 (15.25 ounce) box white cake mix
- 3 tablespoons canola oil
- 2 tablespoons eggnog
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Frosting
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter softened
- 2 1/4 cups powdered sugar
- 1-2 tablespoon eggnog
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix together the cake mix, eggnog, canola oil, egg, ground nutmeg, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
- Using a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop, drop portions of dough onto the prepared cookie sheets. Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are set. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- In a large bowl, beat the butter until smooth. Add the powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon of eggnog, ground nutmeg, vanilla extract, and salt. Beat until the frosting is fluffy, adding more eggnog if needed to reach your desired consistency.
- Once the cookies are fully cooled, pipe or spread the eggnog buttercream onto each one. Sprinkle with a little extra nutmeg, if desired. Enjoy!
Notes
- Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days. If you pipe the frosting, avoid stacking them, as the frosting could get crushed.
- The cookies can be frozen for up to 3 months in an airtight container or freezer bag. Thaw at room temperature before serving.
