We added this to out Christmas cookie repertoire last year and I had to come back to find it again because it went over so well! It definitely replaced our previous spritz doughs. Also, we used more rum than called for (maybe double?) because, according to my mother, 'That just isn't enough!'

The eggnog taste really comes through in this cookie. I have made other cookies with eggnog in the recipe but this has much better eggnog flavor, could it be the Rum extract? This recipe is what I have been looking for, Thank you.

My new favorite cookie!!! Who would have thought you can get an 'eggnog' taste without using that thick FATTENING stuff!? I did sprinkle nutmeg on top and took them to work with me. Got RAVES! The whole batch was gone by noon and there are only 5 employees here. I'm GRATEFUL for this holiday recipe-it will be a new tradition! And they are so pretty. I'm going to make some more and add a photo!

what a great recipe! i just got a cookie press and i wanted something a little more interesting than the classic spritz cookie. this "fit the bill". the glaze is so yummy. make sure you cut the bag hole real small cause the glaze is not real thick. thanks!
