Are you guys cookie’d out yet? Because I definitely am not :)! I’ve been sharing cookie recipes like crazy and still have another cookie recipe to share next week too, Lemon Snowball Cookies, they are amazing! As are these perfectly flavored eggnog snickerdoodles. That’s right you guys, all the flavors of eggnog combined with all the best things about a Snickerdoodle cookie, and BAM! You get these! And they are dangerously delicious!
Crazy enough, these cookies actually contain no eggnog. I felt if I added it we’d end with more of a cakey snickerdoodle and with these, I wanted something more soft and chewy because to me that’s the way a true snickerdoodle should be (plus that must-have, lightly crisp outer layer from the sugar coating that slightly melts while baking. I just love biting through that!). They get their eggnog flavor from a fair amount of nutmeg and also from the rum extract. Rum extract can be found near the vanilla extract in most grocery stores. It’s a must in these cookies so be sure not to skip out on it. Plus if you buy it and need more uses for it you can try any of these recipes here. Another fun way to reinvent this classic Snickerdoodle cookie would be to use red sugar in your cinnamon-sugar mixture! Roll your cookie dough ball in the mixture then place on a silicone mat on your cookie sheet to bake. Sprinkle additional sugar after baking if needed! And since you can never have too many cookie recipes… I’m so excited today to be part of a virtual cookie exchange with some of my food-blogging friends! You really need to check out all their delicious recipes! I don’t know which one to start with first, they all look so delicious! Follow the links below the image to get the recipes. Happy cookie-making!
