Will add just a little more eggnog.

I loved this was really easy. Half way through we had to put the rest of the dough back in the fridge it was getting to warm. I used half the nutmeg then added 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon. They came out prefect

Amazing cookies. My friends don't even like eggnog, but they admitted that they do love these cookies. A great change from the usual sugar cookies.

I thought the nutmeg was overpowering. Couldn't taste the eggnog at all. Should be renamed "nutmeg cookies". Disappointed. Won't make again.

My 13-year-old son made these all by himself. The dough was easy to work with and produced sturdy, but tender cookies despite all of the handling--perfect for all methods of cookie decorating.

I love the flavour of this recipe. I cooked it a until it was just starting to get golden and it was nice and soft.

I did these cookies for Christmas and I love them. They remind me of Italian cccokies.

My mom received this recipe in a 1990's version of Taste of Home and we have been making them ever since. Everyone looks forward to a box of eggnog cookies from us during the holidays! I can't encourage someone to bake these enough!!!
