Eggnog Snickerdoodles
"There are loads of snickerdoodle recipes here on Zaar but I didn't see one like this. These are very flavorful cookies that are easy to make. I substitute actual brandy and rum for the extracts."

These eggnog snickerdoodles are amazing! I mixed them up a month or two ago, but I never had a chance to bake them up so I froze the dough. They baked up perfectly. I added a bit of cinnamon to the nutmeg and sugar that I rolled the cookies in. These were soft and tasty cookies which have been placed in my permanent recipe book. Great cookies! Thank you. -
REALYY GOOD COOKIES! I made these this early this morning as I couldn't wait to try them. I did increase the nutmeg slightly and used 1 teaspoon real brandy, the cream of tartar makes them more on the crispy side. I baked mine in an air-convection oven at 350 for about 8 minutes. Great cookie recipe! thanks Lvs2Cook!...Kitten:) -
Great cookies! Snickerdoodles are my favorite and I love eggnog so these are a perfect combination. Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe! -
These baked up nicely! I also used the jamacian rum and brabdy. They were a hit!

Such great cookies! I love the light flavor and texture they have and that they are not super sweet. I used my 1 in cookie scoop and got 34 cookies. Made for a bake sale at DSs school and kept a dozen for us. Made for Photo Forums 2010 Holiday Celebration.

Wonderful cookies! Loved the eggnog flavor of these otherwise traditional snickerdoodles. They were very easy to make. Using a medium sized cookie scoop, I got 36 cookies. Substituted real Myers's Jamaican rum and cognac for the extracts, as suggested, and they were delicious! Will be giving these as gifts this holiday season--thanks Lvs2Cook. Made for Holiday Tag in the Photos Forum.
