Have some leftover eggnog from the holidays? This is a great way to use it! These eggnog sugar cookies are delicious with a soft center, chewy outside, and a little spice. A little nutmeg and cinnamon make the eggnog flavor really shine. If you like eggnog, you will love these cookies.
I baked a few batches of these for the holidays and everyone loved them– especially my little sister. Hope you enjoy! 🙂
