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 were good. I wouldn't crave them, or say "I have to make these every year." but they were good.

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.

I like the Eggnog Cookies II (also on this site) better than this one. It adds more flour and helps make a more stable cookie. Both recipes are very easy to make and have a fairly mild eggnog flavor. That is why I like to give them as gifts. The eggnog flavor is not too overpowering. If you are a die hard eggnog fan, these cookies will be too bland for you.

I will never make these again. They were terribly bland even with adding extra spices as a few readers suggested. They also fell apart pretty easily.

These cookies were just too bland to be good. I added more eggnog as per others' suggestions but they still had a very mild and boring flavor! Couldn't even get my kids interested in eating them!

Awesome cookies. I have had so many people ask for the recipe. I would definitly cut the nutmeg in half and up the eggnog to 3/4 cup. The first batch I rolled into balls, and it was a very messy process, so for the second batch I used a pastry bag to make the cookies. The cookies were so much prettier and much easier to handle. Also, make sure to use parchment paper for easier removal from the pan. Will definitly be a yearly thing!

These were good but I made some changes. I used 1/2 cup brown sugar and 3/4 cup white sugar. I increased the eggnog to 3/4 cup and reduced the cooking time to 18 min. They came out nice and soft in the middle. next time I will reduce the amount of nutmeg(it is very stong tasting) They weren't bad for the first time making them.

The cookies are a little rich, just like eggnog.
