Eggnog Cookies And Rum Sugar Glaze

These Eggnog Cookies transform your favourite holiday beverage into a a delicious handheld treat!

Notwithstanding hating eggnog in its pure, thick, unappealing natural form, I genuinely love the flavour it gives to baked items. In reality swapping out milk for eggnog in a recipe will certainly transform it and give it a perfect amount of spice and flavour.

Eggnog Cookies And Rum Sugar Glaze

To make these cookies, I began with my very preferred chocolate chip cookie recipe. I halved the recipe to make a smaller batch, and with some quick additions and substitutions, these Eggnog Cookies have been born. I opted to put rum into each the cookies and glaze, but if you decide upon them without or want to lead them to kid friendly, you can use rum extract or vanilla extract alternatively. if you use extract, make sure to use the amount indicated in the recipe due to the fact they’re more concentrated than rum.

His isn’t a should-do, but I suppose it makes for prettier cookies. Additionally, don’t crowd your cookie sheets! I discovered that once I baked fewer cookies per sheet, they became out better. I suggest no extra than 6 in line with sheet, however again, it’s a preference aspect. The batches in which I had nine consistent with sheet maybe weren’t as crackly/pretty, however tasted every bit as scrumptious!
