I made these for my Christmas cookie boxes this year and last year- and will be making them a staple! They are really good fillers for boxes, super cute and tiny, and the recipe makes a ton of them. One thing I did read in the comments before making last year was the lack of egg nogg flavor- so to be safe I used egg nogg in the glaze instead milk and it is FANTASTIC! I get so many compliments on these.

In reply to Haylie. I add a tiny bit of rum extract and extra nutmeg to achieve the best eggnog flavor: ).. I make these multiple times a year and we love them this way!

In reply to K Talbert. The cake flour really helps these cookies achieve the melt-in-your-mouth texture, so I wouldn't recommend skipping out. However, you can make your own cake flour with all-purpose flour and cornstarch. I don't have instructions for this, but many food bloggers have excellent tips on the process!

In reply to Sharon. The shortening in the frosting helps the glaze crust so that the cookies can be packaged. You can sub all butter, but the frosting will not crust over!

In reply to WN. I prefer to ice them while hot so it completely glazes the cookies, but they do not need to be hot. You can definitely bake in advance and frost later.

Hi Karli!
Do the cookies need to be iced while hot or can i make the cookies a day in advance and then ice another day? Happy holidays to you and your fam!

Can all purpose flour be used instead of cake flour?
