So, I absolutely LOVE Egg Nog. Like Seriously. So when I saw I could make sugar cookies with Egg Nog, I knew I had to try it. I haven’t yet…so this is a recipe we can all try together. When I try it, I will share pictures. And if any of you try it…please share pictures and let me know what you think! But seriously…I ADORE eggnog! (The alcohol free kind…because why ruin the deliciousness of eggnog with alcohol?) -Jondi
