I'm going to have to make these for my hubby & daughter this Christmas. They both love eggnog, but I don't, so these are guaranteed to last a whole lot longer than my chocolate chip cookies. LOL

I made some of these the other day....yum-o! Honestly, the eggnog flavor is pretty subtle and so good! Even if you're not a big fan of eggnog, I'd give these a try!

(I'm making another batch or two tomorrow )
