Eggnog is definitely one of the things I look forward to most at the Holidays. I absolutely love those warm spices so it feels like a natural fit, add a little spiced rum or bourbon and I'm in heaven. So needless to say, Eggnog Cookies were a necessity.
They're deliciously soft and the perfect cookie texture, filled with all the flavours of eggnog - nutmeg and cinnamon. So yummy!
Ingredients:
- All-purpose flour
- Ground cinnamon
- Ground nutmeg

Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Set aside.
Combine the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves and salt in a medium sized bowl, whisk and set aside.
Cream the butter and sugars together in a large mixer bowl until combined. It should be light in colour and fluffy.
Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix. Add the eggnog and mix until well combined.
Add the dry ingredients and mix until the flour is fully incorporated. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
