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.

- 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.
