Ingredients

17.5 oz pouch sugar cookie mix
1 cup butter room temperature
1 egg beaten
1 tbsp water
8 oz cream cheese room temperature
4 cups powdered sugar
3 tbsp eggnog
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
nutmeg

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, stir together cookie mix, 1/2 cup softened butter, egg, and water until a soft ball forms.
Roll into one-tablespoonful balls and place in greased miniature muffin cups. Bake at 375 for 7 - 9 minutes or until edges are slightly browned.
Remove from oven. While cookies are still warm, using a soda bottle cap or the bottom of a K-cup, lightly press an indentation on the tops of all the cookies. Allow to cool completely.
For the frosting, beat remaining 1/2 cup butter and cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
Add in vanilla and powdered sugar. Add in eggnog.
Pipe frosting onto sugar cookie cups and sprinkle with nutmeg. Refrigerate leftovers.
