One year, when I had a lot of eggnog on hand, I created a new holiday cookie recipe. The flavor is subtle, but somehow it transforms regular sugar cookies into something special for the holidays. -Mark Banick, Turner, Oregon

Tips:

  • Make sure all your ingredients are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help the cookies to mix together more evenly and will result in a more consistent bake.
  • Don't overmix the cookie dough. Overmixing can make the cookies tough and dry. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies to hold their shape and will prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies at the correct temperature. If the oven is too hot, the cookies will brown too quickly and may burn. If the oven is too cool, the cookies will not cook through and will be doughy.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing them. This will help them to keep their shape and will prevent them from becoming too soft.

Conclusion:

Spiced Eggnog Rum Cookies are a delicious and festive holiday treat. They are perfect for parties and cookie exchanges. With their warm spices and creamy rum flavor, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
