Easy Eggnog Cookies for Christmas

This was my second attempt at making these cookies. I had my mind set on this idea, and I was determined to make it work. It’s a tricky balance when adding liquids to cookie dough, The first batch, while delicious, was flat, flat, flat. So I got back in the kitchen and with just a couple minor tweaks I achieved exactly what I was hoping for. These are amazing. I hope you give them a try this Christmas season!

    These look fantastic. A hint for you, freeze the kisses before putting them in cookies. They won’t melt into Google as much.

    Just wanted everyone to know that this recipe works with Silk Almond Nog. I’m vegan so I don’t drink eggnog. I gave the recipe a whirl, did the exact same measurements just with almond nog!

    They came out super delicious!

    These will be a holiday staple from now on. Thank you!
