These soft and chewy, eggnog flavored cookies are the ideal Holiday treat. Every layer of this cookie, from the warm spiced cookie dough, to the creamy, cream cheese frosting is filled with eggnog and rum extract. Dust the tops with freshly grated whole nutmeg and a pinch of cinnamon to dress up this “limited edition” holiday cookie that will catch everyone’s eye when you set out your holiday desserts. And if these holiday cookies aren’t your thing, that’s OK! I have these Coffee Cake Cookies, Apple Pie Cookies, Gingerbread Snickerdoodles, or Cinnamon Roll Cookies for you to try! As soon as November arrives I start searching the grocery stores for Eggnog. Am I the only one?! I make sure I buy some every time I shop, because once the holidays are gone…so is the eggnog. Eggnog just isn’t a great addition to my morning cup of coffee, but it also makes great cocktails, early morning breakfast breads, pies and cakes, candy and yummy cookies. This year I wanted to make a cookie that you would fall in love with. It is packed with the sweet custard like eggnog flavor so there is no way of getting around how festive these Eggnog Cookies are and how they will become your holiday favorite.

Start by fluffing the flour in the bag or canister. Grab your measuring cup and spoon the flour into it. (Instead of sticking the cup into the bag). Level the flour across the top of the measuring cup by scrubbing a knife across the top. Don’t skip these steps and scoop the flour directly from the canister. Correctly measured, 1 cup of flour should weigh between 120 and 125 grams.
