This Eggnog Cookie Recipe is another family favourite.  If you’re an eggnog fan you love these cookies.

It’s day two of COOKIE WEEK! Today I’m sharing another family favourite –Eggnogg Cookies. My Grandma first made these from a magazine recipe, and they were a “make again” right from the start. They’ve been a Christmas fav ever since.

We used to call them eggnog logs, and roll them into little log shapes, and then ice them and make lines with the tines of a fork to resemble bark. They took a long, long time to make that way. So, I thought why not just make them into regular little circle cookies and not dread having to make them (don’t tell my Mom, but I never really thought they looked much like logs anyway). I made them quite little, because little is always cuter, and then you can eat more. 😉
