Ingredients

Servings

• 3 cup All-purpose flour
• ¹⁄₄ cup Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• ¹⁄₂ teaspoon Salt
• ¹⁄₂ cup Unsalted butter
• ¹⁄₂ cup Eggnog
• 1 Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• ¹⁄₂ cup Dried cranberries
• ¹⁄₂ cup Powdered sugar
• 1 tablespoon Milk

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

3. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for 5 minutes. Roll the dough into a 12x9-inch rectangle.
4. In a small bowl, mix together the cinnamon and dried cranberries. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the dough.
5. Starting from one of the long sides, tightly roll up the dough into a log. Cut the log into 12 equal slices.
6. Place the slices in a greased baking dish and let them rest for 1 hour.
7. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the rolls for 20 minutes, or until golden brown.
8. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk to make a glaze. Drizzle the glaze over the warm rolls.
9. Serve the eggnog cinnamon rolls and/or eggnog cranberry twists warm.
