Ingredients

1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
2 large eggs
11 tablespoons eggnog
3 teaspoons whiskey
3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup confectioner's sugar

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large bowl, use a handheld mixer to beat together the butter, sugar, and eggs until light and fluffy. Beat for 3-5 minutes.
Add 8 tablespoons of eggnog and 2 teaspoons of the whiskey. Beat until just incorporated.
In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt.
Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and beat in until just combined.
Transfer dough to prepared baking sheet. Form into a long log that is 5" wide and 15" long.
Bake for 25 minutes. Remove from oven and place baking sheet onto a wire cooling rack. Let sit for 5 minutes.
Carefully transfer cooled log to a cutting board. Cutting across the log, cut into 3/4 inch slices.
Place slices standing up on the baking sheet. (Cut sides should both be exposed.) Bake for 20 minutes.
Remove from oven and transfer to wire cooling rack to cool completely.
In a bowl, whisk together the confectioner's sugar, 1 teaspoon of whiskey, and 3 tablespoons of eggnog until smooth.
Use the whisk to drizzle the glaze over the cooled biscotti. Garnish with a scant sprinkle of freshly ground nutmeg.
