This is a sweet way to use leftover eggnog. It will give a grown-up slant to sugar cookies or cupcakes.
Game plan: If refrigerating, allow frosting to come to room temperature before using.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch ground cinnamon
- Pinch kosher salt
- 1/4 cup Best Eggnog
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
INSTRUCTIONS
- In a medium mixing bowl, use a hand mixer to cream the butter on medium speed until fluffy and light in color.
- Add the powdered sugar and continue to mix until it is well incorporated.
- Add the remaining ingredients and beat until frosting is very airy and thoroughly mixed, about 2 minutes. Use immediately to frost cookies or cupcakes, or store covered in the refrigerator until ready to use.
