If you like eggnog you will love these cookies. They are nice and soft. They are good by themselves, but I wanted a little more eggnog flavor so I used an eggnog icing. I combined 1 pound confectioner's sugar, 1/4 cup butter, softened, 1/3 cup commercial eggnog. I mixed on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. If for some reason your icing would be a little too stiff just add more eggnog one tablespoon at a time. I omitted brusing the cookies with the egg white and using the colored sprinkles and just went with the icing. I came out with 52 cookies using a 2 3/4" round cutter. I don't know how you would come out with 192 cookies unless they were less than 1" in size.
