Took about 3 hours. tasted okay; but not exciting.. next time I think I will use Pumpkin Spice eggnog for more flavor.
To all you people who can’t bake or pick good egg nog, that is your fault not the recipes. I have made this many times with excellent results and I would have made many more if I had a kitchen of my own with more then 4 feet of space. I suggest you people learn how to bake first and pick out good ingredients cuz mine always turns out excellent. I also do believe I always add cinnamon
I gave these a try and at first I didn't really like them at all. I threw out the ones with just colored sugar but kept the ones we frosted because I thought they were at least edible. I thought there was too much nutmeg. However - and I don't know if it's because the cookies "sat" for awhile or it's something in the frosting, but they are tasting much much better! I honestly don't know if I will make them again. We'll see!
This is a 5 star hit with my family. I love the flavor. The dough rolled out great. I will be adding this to my Christmas cookie list every year.
Cookie was much too sweet, with and without sprinkles or colored sugar. I suggest using less sugar, brush only with egg white and add one cinnamon heart at the center of the cookie to add color. Add the cinnamon heart after 5 minutes, otherwise it will melt.
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 husband's new favorite cookie. YUM!
