Eggnog cookies have the great taste of eggnog in a cookie! With eggnog, cinnamon and nutmeg these are a delicious seasonal cookie!
I love when November comes around and I can finally buy eggnog in the stores. I love a big glass of cold eggnog (I’ll be honest, I usually add a little milk to thin it out) and it would be perfect served up with a plate of these eggnog cookies.
Pin these scrumptious Eggnog Cookies for Later.
My friend Natalie has made these eggnog cookies for us a few times now, and I finally was smart enough to make the recipe for myself at home! These delicious eggnog cookies have that great eggnog taste because they have 1/2 cup of actual eggnog in them! They also have cinnamon and nutmeg to make them extra delightful.
I used International Delight’s Classic Nog and it gave my cookies that perfect seasonal flavor. These cookies are smaller than normal cookies, but I like them that way because it just means you can eat more 😉 I ate my cookies up with a big glass of International Delight’s Classic Nog for the perfect holiday treat!
These cookies would also be perfect for a Christmas party or for taking a plateful to share with your friends or neighbors.
I promise these cookies are the perfect addition to your kitchen this holiday season!!

Can these be frozen
Ellen says
Yes, there should be no probably freezing these cookies. You could even roll them into balls, place on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet, fast freeze, and then store in an airtight freezer container. Remove before baking and either let thaw or cook from frozen but they will take a minute or two longer and not flatten out as much.

It’s actually not hard to make your own eggnog without any fears of drinking raw egg, so you can have eggnog all year long. (I do understand that you might have been paid by the company that’s pictured in your recipe…..) All you have to do is heat the milk and egg mixture to 140 degrees, and then chill it before you serve it. I’ve read that adding acohol kills anything lurking in it as well, but since it’s being prepared to serve to a multiaged group usually , I leave it out.

Thanks so much! I’m actually hoping to make homemade sometime, though I’ll probably wait till eggnog season just cause that’s when I crave it 😉
Annie S. says
Thanks for sharing! Mine are coming out of the oven now! Do you refrigerate them or is a sealed container fine?
Aimee Berrett says
I’ve kept them out of the refrigerator, but they usually only last for a couple days. We haven’t had any problems though 🙂
Anna says
These cookies were easy to make and so delicious! Not too strong of an eggnog taste but you can tell its in there. I will definitely make them again. Thank you!
Aimee Berrett says
Thanks so much Anna!! I’m so glad you liked them!
Michelle says
This looks amazing! Can you tell us how many cookies this usually yields?
Aimee Berrett says
I’m sorry Michelle I’ve never written it down for some reason. I think I got about 4 dozen since the cookies are small!
