INGREDIENTS

1 cup butter or margarine, softened
2 cups sugar
1 tsp. baking soda
1 cup Borden Eggnog
1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg
5-1/2 cups flour

INSTRUCTIONS

Beat butter and sugar until fluffy. Add eggnog, baking soda, and nutmeg; mix well. Gradually add flour; mix well. Divide dough in half. Wrap half in plastoic wrap and chill overnight in refrigerator or 2 hours in freezer.

Preheat oven to 375°F / 190°C. On a floured surface, roll out half the dough to 1/8 inch thickness. Using your floured cookie cutters, cut out desired shapes. Place 1 inch apart on ungreased baking sheets. Continue with the rest of the dough until all is used.

Bake 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool. Ice and decorate as desired once cooled.

Icing:
Beat together confectioners' sugar and butter until well blended using an electric mixer. Gradually beat in 1/3 cup eggnog until icing is smooth.

CHEF COMMENTS

IF THE 'ICEING' IS TOO THICK, ADD A DASH OF EGG NOG, IF TOO THIN, ADD A BIT MORE CONFECTIONERS SUGAR.<br />
