Eggnog Cookies with Eggnog Glaze
GUEST POST: Eggnog Cookies with Eggnog Glaze from Baked Bree
Thank you for including me at your cookie party. I wish that this event was in real life, because there have been some gorgeous cookies so far.
I love eggnog flavored things, but do not love eggnog. Weird, I know. But anything that tastes like eggnog that I don’t have to drink? I am so there. These cookies are so good even my eggnog disliking husband loved them. In fact, his entire office did too. They are crispy on the inside and chewy on the inside.
One thing though, you really need to use fresh nutmeg. It makes a world of difference in the final product. Do yourself a favor and toss the container of ground nutmeg that has probably been sitting in your cabinet from 5 Christmases ago and get whole nutmeg and a microplane. You will be blown away by the difference in flavor. Hope that you have a Happy Holiday!

This recipe sounds great and I will try it BUT, unless I’ve missed it, what’s the yield?
I am trying these out for the wee ones in my family. I was wondering ho many cookies this recipe makes.
How long do you let the glaze dry. I’ll need to make these at my home and transport them. Wanted the glaze to be dry to stack them.
Everything is right there in the recipe. I hope you enjoy then!
you didn’t say how many cookies it yields
You didn’t give me how much of each ingredient! How long to cook?
Oh hubs would love these! He's the big eggnog fan in the house.
