I use this recipe every year. My whole family loves them! I add 3 cups of flour to begin with so the dough isn't so sticky later. I also add a dash of cinnamon to make the dough a little more flavorful.
LOVE THIS RECIPE! A few years back I found this recipe in an old country woman cookbook. I thought this was a perfect recipe because the family and I love eggnog. Very soft and delicate these cookies are great to set the mood for a perfect Christmas. The only problem i had was the sticky dough. I had to add a little extra flower to make it manageable. I always double the batch because my friends love snatching a few from the cooling rack.
These are really yummy. We love them. But, the dough is very soft and sticky so you have to add a lot of flour when you roll them out.
This is one of my go-to's at Christmas. It makes a lot of cookies, so usually 1 batch does it for my family and friends. Love it!
We make this recipe every year for the past 4 years! We always have to make double b/c the kids (and hubby) sneak them off the cooling rack!
