Ok, so I know I’ve probably said this before, but these are the best cookies I’ve ever had in my life. Since we love the taste of soy eggnog, we used it again here to make these oh so delicious holiday cookies. One of our favorite kinds of cookies are Snickerdoodles, and since these wonderful little cookies are rolled in sugar and nutmeg right before baking (much like Snickerdoodles except using nutmeg instead of cinnamon), we called them Eggnogerdoodles.

These cookies have all the great flavors of traditional eggnog: nutmeg, cinnamon, rum, and of course our current best friend, soy eggnog. They’re the perfect cookie texture, a little crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. Rolling the cookie dough balls in sugar and nutmeg before baking them makes them even better; the sugar caramelizes on the bottoms of the cookies making it even more delicious.

We’re having a Trim-A-Tree party this weekend and you can bet we’re making a double batch of these bad boys….or maybe a triple batch… either way, definetly make these for the holidays! They’re great for gifts, cookie exchange parties, or for having a fancy plate of yummy cookies out for a holiday party.

Josh came home from work today, got out the KitchenAid mixer, grabbed some baking ingredients, and said “Ok what am I making?” He decided to make Mexican Wedding Cookies!

I’ve never had them before but I figured you couldn’t go wrong with a cookie made almost entirely of margarine and powdered sugar. After doing some research, we decided to use almonds and a tablespoon of rum, which makes everything delicious. Then we baked them for 10 minutes (they came out perfectly!), rolled them in powdered sugar, and then ate about 7 of them, before dinner I might add :/

These cookies are super easy to make and in North America they’re considered a holiday treat. Sooo this is the first of many holiday cookies and treats..so be prepared.
