    Tips and Tricks for Making These Eggnog Cookies: 

    • Make sure to give an even space or distance between each cookie when baking. It will prevent the cookies from sticking to each other after baking. Also, this cookie tends to spread out more so always keep the distance enough for each cookie.
    • Do not over mix the cookie dough. After all the ingredients are well-combined, then the mixing process should be done. Overmixing it would make the cookies rubbery.
    • For easy baking, use a nonstick baking sheet. If you do not have it, you can use a regular cookie sheet and just line it with parchment paper.
    • Use a stand mixer when making a larger batch of Eggnog cookies. It helps you to mix the ingredients evenly.

    How to Make these Eggnog Cookies:

    These are the Eggnog Cookies ingredients that you will need:

    • all-purpose flour
    • cinnamon
    • nutmeg
    • baking powder

    Frequently Asked Questions for the Eggnog Cookies Recipe:

    Q: Can you freeze the cookies once baked?

    A: Yes, for sure! Just carefully thaw them before serving.

    A: You can make the dough a day in advance and just freeze it. Remember to thaw it properly before baking them.

      Google search led me to your video and these cookies are to die for! Little crisp on the outside, moist on the inside, not overly sweet with a great eggnog taste. Best cookies I’ve ever baked. These are so good that I am delivering them to my friends and family! Thank you for such a great recipe! Merry Christmas!
