- 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.
