Get ready to add a new favorite to your holiday cookie lineup! In this video, I’m diving into the festive world of Eggnog Snickerdoodles - a fun twist on the classic cookie. I walk you through every step, from mixing up a soft and buttery dough with a splash of eggnog and freshly grated nutmeg to rolling the dough in a cinnamon-sugar coating that makes the kitchen smell like Christmas. These cookies bake up beautifully, with a chewy center and just the right touch of holiday spice.
Along the way, I share tips for storing and glazing your cookies to keep them fresh and ready for any holiday party or neighborly cookie tray. I also sprinkle in a few ideas for other seasonal treats, like biscotti, shortbread, and my family’s favorite coconut macaroons. And because it’s the season of giving, I talk about simple ways to brighten someone’s day — like sharing cookies with a neighbor or stopping by to visit someone who might need a little extra cheer.
So, grab your apron and let’s bake something special together. Whether you’re making these for your cookie tray, a holiday party, or just to enjoy with your loved ones, Eggnog Snickerdoodles are sure to bring a little extra joy to the season.
