These cookies are crispy around the edges and soft and chewy on the inside. Surely this would be a crowd-pleaser and you won’t mind doing another batch because it’s so easy to make 🙂
Since Christmas is just a few days ahead, I decided to make Snickerdoodle Eggnog Cookies for my Cookie Mondays as part of the Holiday Baking series! One thing that made me more excited is that this is a collab with Lindsay Ann from Lindsay Ann Bakes 🙂 Don’t forget to watch the Snickerdoodle Cupcakes that she made on her channel!
Tips and Tricks for Making This Snickerdoodle Eggnog Cookies Recipe:
- Before mixing the dry ingredients like all-purpose flour, baking soda, and granulated sugar, sift them individually. This easy but very important step would make your cookies nice and evenly textured. It wouldn’t be fun biting into a lump of flour in between 🙂
- After baking your Chocolate Chip Meringue Cookies, store them in an airtight container so you can enjoy them for several days – that is if you did not eat the whole batch in one sitting.
- If you don’t have chocolate chips and have a chocolate bar instead, simply chop it in small bits and you have equally delicious chocolate to go in that croissant dinner roll!
