I followed all the suggestions here regarding adding spices, used about 2 1/2 cups of flour, as well, added a teaspoon of rum extract, but I just didn't like the consistency of this cookie, and still didn't find it had enough taste. Sorry, but I wouldn't make this again.

Cookies were yummy. Added about 1/2 tsp nutmeg to mine and was using vanilla eggnog. Mine needed a little more flour but use your judgement there. The frosting was too sweet so I added about 4 tbsp cream cheese.

These were quite good but did need some additions such as nutmeg and cinnamon. Overall a nice cookie.

I Loved these cookies. I also added 1 tsp cinnamon & 1 tsp vanilla. I liked them without the icing but the Hubby liked them both ways. I thought they tasted like eggnog. Yummy!!

Soft and delicious. I did add 1 tsp vanilla to the sugar mixture after the eggnog and 1 tsp nutmeg and 1 tsp cinnamon to the flour mixture. I also sprinkled a touch of nutmeg on the iced cookies.

Overall these cookies were great. Kids and husband really enjoyed based on number eaten. :) I added 1 tsp each of cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla. The amount of flour for me was great, I may have even added a bit more...but then I live in the NW US in a higher altitude. Also increased coooking time to 10-12 minutes and added a dash of nutmeg to the icing.

The rating is based on this altered version, which is a little disingenious; sorry. I followed one of the reviewer's suggestion and added 1 t of cinnamon and nutmeg. I didn't add the vanilla. It's a very flavorful recipe this way and produces very cakey cookies. One thing though is that when I reduced the flour to 2.75c, I found the batter very wet...I guess that should have been obvious. I froze it for about 15 min and that seemed to help a little. Regardless, the cookies came out nicely risen. My second batch though was flat, b/c I tried to fit more cookies on the sheet. I think the glaze will not only add that extra oomph, but will also hide some irregularities of the second batch. Nice.

i had to add a lot of spices to give it flavor. i used pumpkin spice eggnog, add 3/4 tsp nutmeg, sprinkled pupkin pie spice and all spice, 1 tsp vanilla. i also add spices to the frosting, i don't like the overly sweet taste of powder sugar so i added all spice, cloves, nutmeg, and pumpkin pie spice. it's an okay recipe.....not a favorite but i will probably make again.
