I made this recipe years ago & lost it. I am so happy to find it here. I will definitely make these next holiday season. They were always one of the favorites on my cookie platters before I lost my recipe. Thanks for posting!!!!

I made these cookies for Christmas and they turned out great. I think they probably go great with coffee and for me, hot chocolate or a mocha. I didn't find any problems with spreading or over mixing and found that they did make a good number of cookies. Thanks!

These cookies are AWESOME!!! They are now a permanent part of our Christmas traditions! My suggestions: Be very careful to not over-mix, and we prefer to sprinkle them with cinnamon (or cinnamon sugar!) rather than nutmeg. Our favorite topping though is Eggnog Icing (1 1/2 cups powdered sugar and 3 T. eggnog mixed slowly together... before it hardens, sprinkle with either nutmeg or cinnamon lightly). With the icing, cookies are slightly sweeter and have more eggnog flavor.

I cut the recipe in half but still accidently used 2 egg yolks. I also used half butter, half margerine, and kept the cinnamon the same (I like cinnamon). Still tasted excellent. I found that it was more difficult to remove the cookies from the sheet the cooler they got. I don't know if it is from my inexperience/ineptitude as a baker, or if it is b/c the cookie sheets i use are rather old (yeah, that's it... blame the cookware ). Anyway, excellent cookies, even my chocolate-loving family likes them.
