Pumpkin Eggnog Thumbprint Cookies are delicious pumpkin cookies topped with a yummy eggnog frosting.

Pumpkin Eggnog Cookies

I love pumpkin! I love eggnog! So it seems natural to me to combine the two into one delicious cookie! And my Pumpkin Eggnog Thumbprint Cookies were born. Both pumpkin and eggnog represent the holidays to me. Each year I try to add a couple of new cookies to my holiday baking. This year I’m adding these yummy pumpkin thumbprint cookies with eggnog frosting.

Pumpkin Eggnog Thumbprint Cookies

I have a friend that makes wonderful eggnog thumbprint cookies. However, I wanted to add a twist to these and used pumpkin cookies instead of her cookie dough. The eggnog frosting does not actually have eggnog in it but tastes like eggnog. You could use rum in the frosting. However, I used rum extract with a little milk to substitute for the rum to keep the cookies family friendly.

Pumpkin Eggnog Thumbprint Cookies

This batch of cookies I made with the new I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter!® that has been reformulated to use only real, simple ingredients with no artificial preservatives. It is the first spread by Unilever in the U.S. to be made with non-GMO sourced ingredients. The new I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter!® is made with plant-based oils and are a source of both monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids, as well as a good source of omega-3 ALA. It is now available in grocery stores nationwide as of October 2014.  Visit us at www.icantbelieveitsnotbutter.com to learn more.

The new I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter!® is great for spreading on toast, topping corn on the cob, sautéing vegetables or baking a cake.  As always, the new I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter!® is spreadable directly out of the refrigerator, so there’s no need to wait for it to soften!

  • 1 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 1 tablespoon rum or 1/2 tsp rum extract and 1 TBL Milk
  • 1 pinch ground nutmeg
