It’s egg nog season (for those of you who like it; I’ll pass). Nikki came across a recipe for egg nog cookies and really wanted to try it. She modified the recipe to meet her needs. Almond nog cookies will be a fun dessert to celebrate over the holidays.
Since we already had pre-made cookie mix, we decided to use that for this recipe. We used Our House Gluten-Free Cookie Mix. It’s sold out on their website, but it’s also available at WalMart. This mix is also egg-free, so this recipe can be made vegan by replacing eggs with egg replacement.
As always, all recipes are gluten-, soy-, and dairy-free.

Ingredients
-1 box of cookie mix
-1/2 cup almond nog
-2 large eggs (or egg replacement)
-3/4 c butter
-1 tsp baking powder
-2 1/4 c flour
-1 1/4 c sugar
-1 tsp vanilla
-1/2 tsp cinnamon
-1/2 nutmeg
-parchment paper or cooking spray
Instructions
-Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper or cooking spray.
-In a mixing bowl, combine dry ingredients (minus sugar).
-In another bowl, mix sugar and butter (make sure it’s room temperature).
-Add wet ingredients to sugar and butter mix.
-Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Beat at a low speed until blended.
-Place dough onto cookie sheet using a small scoop (an ice cream scoop will work), leaving an inch between cookies.
-Sprinkle cinnamon/nutmeg lightly (optional).
-Bake at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes or until cookies are browned on the edges.
-Let cool before serving.
If you have additional cookie dough leftover, place in freezer in an airtight container.
We really like this fun twist on cookies!
