Bread dough is in it's container, I figure I'll pull out a boule for tonight and put the rest in the fridge. Deb, will I be in trouble, I used a 4qt container?

You should be ok, especially considering you're going to remove some of the dough tonight. Once the dough is in the fridge, it doesn't really rise more.

Let me know how it turns out Bob, hope you like it!

Eggnog cookies are made and they are wonderful!

EGGNOG COOKIES
Cookie Dough
1 Cup unsalted butter, softened
1 Cup sugar
1 Cup eggnog
1 egg, beaten
3 3/4 Cups AP flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp ground nutmeg

Frosting
1 1/2 Cups powdered sugar
1/4 Cup eggnog
1 tsp light corn syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract

Sprinkle (see Note)
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1/8 tsp ground ginger powder

1. Mix butter & sugar.
2. Add eggnog & egg.
3. Add flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt & nutmeg.
4. Chill about 1 hour.
5. Pre-heat oven to 350*.
6. Drop dough by teaspoonful onto a parchment covered baking sheet.
7. Bake 8-10 minutes.
8. Pull out of oven & while still warm, push tops of cookies down with the bottom of a lightly greased glass to flatten out the tops of the cookies.
9. Cool on rack.
10. Mix up frosting ingredients.
11. Frost the cookies and while the frosting is still wet, top with spice sprinkle.

Note: The recipe only called for ground nutmeg to sprinkle the tops of the cookies, but I mixed together all the spices that we use when we make eggnog.

Yum!

I have a bowl of yeast raised pancake batter in the fridge from yesterday. I will make a waffle or two in the morning with it. It keeps for several days and is very convenient in the morning.
