Eggnog Snickerdoodles

I just love a good dessert mashup. Why pick one sweet treat when you can just smash them together and create one yummy dessert combo? Our Pecan Pie Brownies and Oreo Cheesecake Brownie Bars are two of my favorites.

These cookies not only have the delicious flavor of cinnamon and nutmeg like Eggnog does, they have actual Eggnog in them! Grab your favorite brand of the holiday drink and save a bit to make these.

Ingredients:

  • Butter
  • Sugar

Eggnog Snickerdoodle Recipe

  • Making these is really similar to a sugar cookie recipe. Start off by creaming together your butter and sugars.
  • Next, mix in the egg and then the vanilla. After that, add in the salt, spices, cream of tarter and baking soda.
  • When that is all combined, gradually mix in the flour one cup at a time. The last step in preparing the batter is to slowly add in your Eggnog.
  • Instead of dropping the dough onto a baking sheet straight away, we roll it into balls and coat them in a cinnamon, nutmeg, sugar mix.
  • Bake them and enjoy!

Can you make Snickerdoodles without cream of tartar?

Cream of tartar is what helps make the chewiness of these cookies and there is just not a really great substitute for it.

Your kitchen will smell so great while these cook. It’s one of my favorite parts of baking with cinnamon and nutmeg!
