Eggnog Cookies
Eggnog cookies are Holiday baking tradition at our house. Egg, Rum Flavoring and Nutmeg give these sugar cookies that festive eggnog flavor. Nutmeg is widely available ground, but it's also fun and satisfying to buy it whole and grate it with a rasp style grater for a stronger, fresher taste.
