Aubrey & Jordan share a love for eggnog. While I’ve never been a fan, I’ve also never turned down an opportunity to try out a new cookie recipe. Voila—eggnog cookies!
This year the two of them have already discovered a new-to-them Cinnamon flavor Eggnog at Fry’s grocery store. These cookies are a spin on their new favorite treat//drink.
Eggnog Cookies Recipe
These cookies use something that I don’t traditionally use in recipes—egg whites. Need a great egg white tutorial? This one is my favorite to use for separating egg whites.
Once your eggs are ready, you will mix them with sugar. You could use a hand mixer, or if you prefer a stand mixer, use the wire whisk setting as this batter is really thin.
Once your cookies are mixed together, you’ll drop about 2 Tablespoons of the cookie dough onto the cookie sheet. These cookies do spread, so leave some room in-between the thin dough.
Bake them until the edges are lightly brown.
