If you like eggnog (even if you don’t), and you’ve never had these cookies, make them. You’ll love them – trust me! They’re my personal favorites – and I promise to get a nicer photo of them this year. 🙂
(new pic, as promised!)
1 c. butter softened to room temp.
1 c. sugar
1/2 tsp. nutmeg/cinnamon or 1/4 tsp each
1 c. eggnog!
1 tsp. baking soda
4 c. flour
Beat butter & sugar until it’s creamy.
Add spices, Eggnog & baking soda to butter & sugar, blend well.
Add flour 2 cups at a time, mix (with mixer) until combined.
Spoon onto nonstick cookie sheet, dip a cup in sugar (holiday colored sugar, sugar/cinnamon, sugar/nutmeg, your call), smoosh the dough a little – don’t flatten them.
Bake at 375 for right around 11 minutes, when you can see the bottom edges are golden brown.

OK, this is strange, I just wrote about Eggnog CAKE! then I come over here and you’ve got cookies. I cut and pasted this recipe for my files, sounds like a keeper!
MMM. I will be giving these a whirl! I loooove egg nog.
I am now drooling.
(I know what I’ll be doing this weekend. Must. Go. Grocery shopping!! I’ll need to buy more eggnog.)
mmmmmmmmmm…I loooooove egg nog!
Kip LOVES eggnog…I’m sure he’d love these cookies as well…maybe he can dunk these in egg nog 😉
Lo**
mmmmmmmm I remember these gems from last year…I thnk I ate about a million of them :bawling:
These cookies look delicious. I can’t wait to try them
I adore eggnog and will be making my own batch of these lovelies… :cloud9:
~Tis the season to drink eggnog~
~fa la la la la, la la la la,
~guess who’s making eggnog cookies?~
~fa la la la, la la la la~
~yes, today I’m baking cookies
~and I’m using your recipe!~
Picts to come!!!
Leanne, I just tried these, and they are really super-duper dry. I couldn’t finish beating them with my beater, which almost caught fire, and the cookies are all dry and crumbly when they come out of the oven. What did I do wrong??
Oh no! Neither you or Laura are having any luck with it – I’m not sure why?! I used the exact same recipe and got the cookies pictured above. Did you soften the butter to room temp? Use a full cup of eggnog? It should be really runny and eggy before you start adding the flour, and the consistency is like chocolate chip cookie dough (without the chips) – so something definitely went amuck. I’m so sorry! :confused:
You know, I added an egg yolk and it worked much better the second batch. Maybe there is some difference in our egg nogs? Anyway, with an egg, the cookies were a huge hit, even among people who don’t like egg nog. And don’t apologize — even without the egg, the batch I made was a huge hit with my boyfriend, so they went to a good home. 🙂
:jawdrop: MMMMMM! eeeggggg nooooggggg
these cookies are pretty good! everyone loved them including my neighbors!! I dipped them in red and green sugar to give them a more festive look!! thanks, marisa
WOW! Absolutely stunning blog design, well done!
I was surfing through stumbleupon for fine dining ideas to write about, my site is brand new still, and I found your recipe. I didn’t expect to find it on such a beatiful blog! I’ve only surfed a few pages so far but I have to say this was a very pleasant find. Great stuff Leanne!

Does this work with store bought light eggnog? Because I don’t think there are any eggs in mine…
