Eggnog Cookies

I feel like I owe you a big apology!

I’ve published recipes for eggnog fudge, eggnog cupcakes,and even a decadent eggnog cheesecake! But, somehow eggnog cookies fell through the cracks.

I’m so sorry! 🙁

If we were dating I’d send you roses, but let’s face it I’m just a online sugar addict you follow. Let’s make up with these double eggnog cookies? They have eggnog in both the batter, and the frosting.

    Ingredients need to be listed in the order in which they are used.
    Instruction #2 & 3 are confusing as the vanilla is added in #2 and again in #3.
    Instruction #3: Adding a tsp on vanilla will not change the consistency of the dough
    Flour is listed but not used.
    What is the the “desired consistency”?

      Thanks for your feedback Sam, I’ve made some edits.

      As far as desired consistency that is up to you! Some people like their frosting thicker, sweeter, ect than others.
