Eggnog White Chocolate Chip Cookies
These Eggnog White Chocolate Chip Cookies are the perfect addition to your Christmas cookie platters! They're soft, chewy and perfectly spiced with nutmeg and cloves!
Ingredients
- 1 cup salted butter, softened
- 1 package instant vanilla pudding mix (powder)
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon rum extract
- 2 eggs
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon ground cloves
- 2 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 1 ½ cups white chocolate chips (1 bag)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375℉ and line 3 large baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl using a handheld electric mixer on medium speed, cream together the butter, vanilla pudding mix, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Add the vanilla, rum extract, and eggs and beat on medium speed until fluffy and light in color.
- Whisk together the flour, baking soda, cloves, and nutmeg in a medium-size bowl. Add to the wet ingredients and mix on low speed until just combined. Fold in the white chocolate chips. If your dough is too soft to shape, cover and chill in the refrigerator for 20 minutes or until firmed up a bit.
- Roll the dough into balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets, 8 cookies per pan. Bake the cookies one pan at a time in the preheated oven for 8-12 minutes or until the bottoms are golden brown. Remove from oven and let the cookies cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire rack to finish cooling. Bake the remaining pans of cookies.
- Enjoy!
