eggnog cookies
I think it’s safe to say these are my new favorite holiday cookie! These deliciously soft and completely divine cookies, melt away in your mouth! With their delicate texture and generous coating of eggnog frosting they are likely to become a cookie you’re not going to forget about. They really do taste just like eggnog in cookie form, so basically they are the best Christmas cookie ever.
