These cookies taste exactly like eggnog! I added a dash of ginger when I made them. I really think the sprinkling of nutmeg over the cookies really add to the taste. I have gotten a lot of compliments from them.

I make these every year for Christmas and my family can't get enough. I have to ship them around the world because they love them so much. I also put a little more eggnog to make them better.

These didn't taste very eggnog-ish, but they were still delicious!

I took the advice to substitute brown sugar for a little more than half of the white sugar. This made them nice and soft, just a bit chewy. I really like these cookies, and am hoping that the rest of the family does also.

My oldest daughter hates cookies but loves eggnog, so I thought I would give these a try. She ate them up so they must be good. I personally am not an eggnog fan but they sure made my house smell good. As with other reviews, I cut the nutmeg in half and used 3/4 cup eggnog. I also used a bit more vanilla. I made a frosting using 1 1/2 cups of powdered sugar, 1 tsp. cinnamon, and 1/2 cup of eggnog. They look and smell great and they passed the test of a non-cookie eater.

If I were to try this recipe again I would follow it exactly.I took some other reviewers ideas and cut the nutmeg in half and added extra eggnog. They turned out, but were bland and did not have a very nice texture.

This cookies were really good! I did some of the recommended alterations like, half white sugar and half brown sugar, and 3/4 cup of eggnog. But I also used 1 teaspoon of Allspice(instead of nutmeg), and 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon. They have a nice flavor, and it isn't overpowering!

These cookies are out of this world!! They are so incredibly soft, and be sure to make the eggnog icing for the top. I colored it with orange food coloring to be festive. My husband said they are the best cookies he's ever had (in the soft sugar cookie category). I too fell in love. We will be sure to make these often. Ohh and I too used 3/4 cup of eggnog as I am a big fan of it :) ENJOY

Perfect cookies! I subbed brown sugar for white as someone has noted. It did take the full 20 min at 300 to bake. So soft and very tasty (not bland)! These cookies are so easy. Great way to use up the end of the eggnog. They will be a regular during the holidays with our family.

I used a very rich eggnog in the recipe so I thought that would add extra flavor...still very very mild cookie. The eggnog icing helped make it a little more flavorful. My son who does not like rich sweet things enjoyed them, however....

I made these last night and they turned out beautifully! Followed another reviewers advice and substituted 1/2 the white sugar for brown. They stayed very moist. Sprinkled the tops with powdered sugar. Very pretty! So easy to make, especially for a novice baker like myself. My husband (who doesn't like eggnog) loved them as did my two year old!

So, I loved it. I increased the eggnog to 3/4 cup and added a touch more flour to compensate. They are VERY sticky going into the oven but come out fabulous. They do look opaque after cooking so I recommend the nutmeg and/or frosting for color. Very moist & a winner!

I liked this recipe as a base since it did turn out nice, soft, cakelike cookies. I did use salted butter and added a 1/2 tsp of salt which was not called for in the recipe. Additionally, I added a generous teaspoon of rum extract along with the vanilla. After they baked I frosted them with a frosting I'd made with conf. sugar, butter, eggnog and more rum and vanilla extracts. With these changes the cookies real tasted like eggnog.

These cookies were great...a good way to use up excess eggnog in my fridge! I sprinkled a bit of cinnamon sugar on top afterwards. They were a hit at my work party! Thanks for this recipe!

Left a lot to be desired. Even with modification (3/4 cup of eggnog and slightly less spices), these cookies aren't necessarily worth the time investment. They're a bit boring, and perhaps a little dry, but not completely disappointing. I would highly suggest making a simple eggnog icing to make them sweeter/bring out the flavor.

too bland and boring. if you don't tell people what the cookie is they would be hard pressed to know it is eggnog - just a cookie w/ some spice but definitely not enough.

We very much enjoyed these cookies. Followed the recipe exactly as written - I was a little worried, the dough seemed "sticky" but the cookies themselves were wonderful and the last few were still good 48 hours after baking. Thumbs up from my family! Will definitely be making again.
