Eggnog Cookies

Connie C.'s Note:

I worried a bit about these as I've never heard of an eggnog cookie. Happened across his recipe in an old cookbook. They are a very moist cookie. My family loved them!

Another delicious recipe! I made just as directed except replaced 1 1/4 cups of the flour with whole wheat flour. My son LOVED them....we did too!! Will make again!

these were pretty good. a little boring. i sprinkled some sugar and nutmeg on some before baking. the others i put some white chocolate on. good texture and subtle taste though. i too used silk nog.

These are really good and quite easy to put together. I used soy nog and white wheat flour, because it is what I had. These had a very slight eggnog flavor (which could be because of the soy nog) but were very much enjoyed by us all. Thanks!
