Heavenly Eggnog Cookies

This is the time for eggnog! My hubby and my daughter Andie look forward to this time of the season for that one small fact. So of course, we needed to try it in cookie form and boy was it a hit. Andie took the leftovers to the drill team and we got the two thumbs up approval!
