You are going to love these easy Eggnog Cookies with the creamy flavors of eggnog, nutmeg, cinnamon and cloves all topped with a light eggnog glaze and a sprinkling of nutmeg and cinnamon. If you are an eggnog fan than these are a must try. I love to include them on my cookie trays this time of year with my Peppermint Chocolate Thumbprint Cookies, Magic Cookie Bars, Rum Balls, and Peanut Butter Fudge.
