Baking Tips:

  • You can make the cookie dough balls ahead of time and store them in the freezer. Make sure you thaw slightly in the fridge before baking. 
  • I found they had the best shape when I pushed down slightly on each ball before baking. 
  • You can omit the eggnog in the glaze and use regular milk for a more subtle eggnog flavor, coming just from the cookie. 
  • These cookies freeze well in a freezer-safe food storage container. You can freeze them with the glaze or glaze them prior to serving.
