It’s already Day 10 of The 12 Days of Treats, and I’ve got a recipe brimming with holiday cheer!
Egg Nog Cookies may sound like a nightmare to egg nog haters but trust me, I’m not a nog fan, and these cookies are AMAZING! They don’t taste as much like eggnog as just a really soft, tasty cookie that people will be wondering what the ingredient is if you don’t tell them! The chewy, pillowy center with drool-worthy glaze and a sprinkle of nutmeg is better than the real thing! These eggnog cookies are a hit with many of our family and friends, and I’m betting they will be with yours as well! The video shows you how to bring it all together and what the recipe should look like in different stages.
