Suggestions:

  • These cookies are slightly salty, which helps to balance out the sweetness. If you prefer to use less salt, you certainly can.
  • If you’re not a huge fan of ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, or cloves you can always decrease the amount used in this recipe.
  • Sift the powdered sugar before making the eggnog icing. This will help prevent lumps and make a smoother icing.
  • Refrigerate these cookies if you are not eating or serving them within a few days of baking them due to the eggnog in the icing.
  • This recipe will yield approximately 3 dozen cookies.
