Here you go-


Eggnog Cookies

1/2 c crisco
1/2 c butter
2 c sugar
1 c eggnog
1/2 Tbsp nutmeg
1 Tbsp baking soda
5 1/2 c all purpose flour
extra flour to help with rolling
egg white
colored sugars for decorating
red hots for decorating

Cream crisco, butter and sugar. Add the eggnog, nutmeg and baking soda. Add flour in slowly. About halfway through the flour you will want to switch to a dough hook. When it gets to the point it's not sticky, start working it by hand. Pat out flat and roll out on floured surface to about 1/4" thick. Cut out. Brush with egg white. Decorate.

Bake at 375 deg for 6-8 minutes.

Enjoy!
