I made the recipe as directed but they seemed very blah. I decided to give it a 2nd try and made several changes. To upped the eggnog to 3/4c, changed the vanilla extract to rum extract and to compensate for the added liquid I upped the flour to 2 1/2c. The changes worked like a charm, the cookies were soft and chewy and very eggnoggy. I don't know if the rum extract would have made the same impact on the original recipe but I'm not going back, the 2nd batch were gone in a flash!

My husband loved these easy to make cookies they have a nice flavor

These are good with the changes suggested by others, adding extra eggnog, flour and nutmeg. (I used dark rum plus vanilla.) I would suggest using a high quality eggnog, that is thick and rich in flavor (and with the least number of unpronounceable ingredients.) I have on order Eggnog Flavor from Baker's Catalogue which I'll add to my next batch. I hope this will up the 'wow' factor.

The recipe was not quite right until i changed the sugar to half dark brown and half white. I too changed the amt of egg nog to 3/4c and increased the flour by 1/4c. I also changed the vanilla to spiced rum (real thing) and topped with a wonderful egg nog flavored buttercream icing following recipe on box and also adding part spiced rum for the liquid. Its amazing how this changed the recipe. ENJOY

These cookies are ok. My family didn't dislike them, but being the eggnog lovers that they are, they didn't love them either. I think the next time, I'll try with rum extract, and maybe bake them at 30 for about 10 minutes.

I did as recommended earlier and upped the eggnog to 3/4 c., and did rum extract (plus a little vanilla for good measure). I added some extra nutmeg and sprinkled plenty of cinnamon and nutmeg over the top. Tasty!

Fairly good!

My boyfriend is an eggnog lover--he loved these cookies!

Bland, with a hint of eggnog flavor. Kinda like a spiced sugar cookie. Be sure to grease the cookie sheet!

Nothing really special, like what I was expecting...but not bad either.

These cookies are great! I made a glaze to pipe on using 3/4 cup powdered sugar, 1/4 tsp nutmeg and 2 tbsp water.

These were really soft and pretty good. They dont taste like eggnog, but not that bad

These cookies were very simple and tastey, but they seemed like they were missing something. A nice, simple icing could have done the trick.

Very Egg Noggy

These cookies are amazing!!! They were the first ones gone on my Holiday Cookie Trays!
