These Eggnog Cookies are a big time holiday favorite cookie recipe!

Are you a lover of all things eggnog?  You’ll love these Eggnog Cookies.  They have a good eggnog flavor, and I love the sprinkle of extra nutmeg on the tops of the cookies.  You can plan to dunk them in milk… or eggnog… or Irish Coffee Eggnog (a good holiday cocktail!)  Or eat with a glass of my very decadent Eggnog Punch!

Do you have to use eggnog for these Eggnog Cookies?

These are Eggnog Cookies, so it wouldn’t make sense for you to use anything but eggnog in these cookies.  It seems like an odd question, but it’s a question that has been asked!  You can buy already prepared eggnog in the dairy section of your grocery store during the holiday season (Thanksgiving through Christmas).  The recipe calls for 1/2 cup eggnog, so you’ll have extra to drink!  Read on to find more recipes you can make with your leftover eggnog!

What kind of texture do these Eggnog Cookies have?

If you’re hoping for a crisp and crunchy cookie, these cookies don’t have that texture.  Eggnog Cookies are full of creamy eggnog, so they have a cakey texture.  They have a good eggnog flavor with the added spice of extra nutmeg.  They’re delicious!

Can you freeze Eggnog Cookies?

Yes, these Eggnog Cookies do freeze well.  You can make them ahead and place freeze them in a well-sealed container.  Freeze in layers separated by wax paper.  I’d say they’ll stay pretty fresh for about 30 days.  Just take them out of the freezer when you’re ready to serve them, and let them come to room temperature.

If you love eggnog, you will probably enjoy these eggnog sweet treats too.  And you’ll have leftover eggnog after making these Eggnog Cookies, so make some more eggnog goodies!

And if you’re looking for eggnog breakfast recipes, consider making my Eggnog French Toast Casserole.  It’s a good one for holiday mornings with the relatives!  No Yeast Eggnog Cinnamon Rolls are quite delicious too (they’re my favorite!) Cinnamon Eggnog Scones and Eggnog Cranberry Muffins are delicious to drink with coffee. Overnight Eggnog Coffee Cake with Nog Glaze is a nice make-ahead choice.  Eggnog Pancakes are really good too!  And my family’s favorite is my Eggnog Monkey Bread.  So many eggnog breakfast choices!

Be sure to add these to your holiday baking list.  There is always someone in the room who is a huge eggnog lover!
