Iced Eggnog Cake Mix Cookies Recipe for Holiday Baking

• 1 (15.25 oz) box white cake mix
• 1/4 cup eggnog
• 2 large eggs
• 1/4 cup melted butter
• 1 tsp nutmeg
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Icing

• 3 cups powdered sugar
• 1/4 cup eggnog
• 1/4 cup melted butter
• 1 tsp vanilla

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, combine the white cake mix, eggnog, eggs, melted butter, nutmeg, cinnamon, and vanilla. Stir with a wooden spoon until ingredients are fully incorporated; the dough will be soft.
• Use a 1-inch cookie scoop or spoon to portion the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each mound.
• Bake for 9–11 minutes, until the edges are just beginning to brown and the tops are set. Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 2–3 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
• To make the icing, whisk together the powdered sugar, eggnog, melted butter, and vanilla in a small bowl until smooth. The icing should be thick, similar to cake frosting. Adjust with a little more powdered sugar if it is too thin.
• Once cookies are completely cool, pipe or spoon the icing onto each cookie. Allow the icing to set before serving.
