These Eggnog Cookies are a new cookie recipe that I experimented with this year. I thought it would be fun to take a classic snickerdoodle and add a holiday twist to it by adding eggnog to the recipe.
I am a soft and chewy cookie kind of gal and this recipe fits the bill. The cinnamon-sugar glaze is the perfect finishing touch. I can’t wait to add these to my Christmas Cookie tray this year.

How Do I Make Eggnog Cookies: Recipe Tips and Instructions
Step 1

Make the cinnamon-sugar topping and set aside.
Step 2

Mix together flour, baking soda, baking powder, nutmeg, salt and cream of tartar. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, cream room temperature butter and vanilla extract together with a stand mixer
or hand-held mixer. Add sugar and mix until fluffy. Add eggs, eggnog and mix well. Stir in dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. Do not over mix.
Step 3

Scoop out 1 inch balls and place on a baking sheet, with rim, that will fit on your refrigerator shelf. They do not have to be perfect shape at this point but each ball should be consistent in size.
Step 4

Roll each cookie dough ball through the sugar mixture to coat and put back on the cookie sheet. Place cookie sheet into the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
Step 5
Bake cookies in a 350-degree oven. Bake 8-10 minutes. Allow 5-10 minutes to cool before removing them from the baking sheet.
Step 6

Drizzle with glaze when completely cool. To make glaze, mix powdered sugar, nutmeg and cinnamon together. Add eggnog and stir together until smooth. Drizzle over cooled cookies and let set up until dry.
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.
