Instructions
Spice Topping
Place Spice Topping ingredients in a small bowl. Stir to combine. Set aside.
Cookies
Place flour, baking soda, baking powder, nutmeg, salt, and cream of tartar in large bowl. Mix well, and set aside.
Place butter and vanilla extract in a bowl, and beat well with mixer until creamy.
Add granulated sweeteners and beat until well-blended and fluffy.
Add egg replacer (or another egg alternative) and holiday nog and mix well.
Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful to not over mix.
If you will be baking with parchment paper, cover your cookie sheet with the paper now.
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, scoop out into uniform, small (approximately 1-inch) balls, and place on a plate.
Roll each cookie dough ball in the Spice Topping Blend to coat, and place on cookie sheet.
Place the cooking sheet into the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to chill.
About 10 minutes before baking, preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Remove cookies from fridge, space cookies about 2 inches apart on the cookie sheet.
Press down the cookies slightly to allow them to spread out a bit.
Bake 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned.
Allow 5-10 minutes for cookies to cool completely before removing them from the baking sheet. Note: this is VERY important for gluten-free and grain-free baking.
Make the glaze while the cookies are cooling.
Drizzle with glaze when the cookies have completely cooled.
Glaze
Add powdered sweetener, nutmeg, and cinnamon to a small bowl. Mix well.
Add holiday nog and stir together until completely smooth.
Drizzle glaze over cooled cookies and let sit until dry.
