Eggnog Oatmeal Cookies

 One last cookie recipe: Eggnog Oatmeal Cookies from Gina at Kleinworth and Co..

 This is one I've had pinned to my Christmas Cookie Exchange! board for while.  It appealed to me because it elevates an ordinary oatmeal cookie to the special status of a Christmas cookie. I loved the fact that the glaze actually contains eggnog.   I mistakenly thought I hadn't gotten around to trying this cookie recipe, but guess what?

The list doesn't lie!  It was on my Christmas baking list -- the recipes I actually did make -- in 2014!  You can see where I've marked off the boxes by the recipes that were actually made.  Eggnog Oatmeal Cookies are about 2/3 of the way down on the list.  Now that my memory has been jogged (it pays to keep lists and a Christmas notebook!) I do recall that these cookies were very tasty.  I think my husband is probably the one who baked the cookies (he's helpful like that when he has the time) and that's why I didn't remember baking them.  I do have a page in my Christmas notebook for "recipes to try" in which I note when we tried a certain recipe and how we liked it, but with Mr. T doing much of the baking the past few years, that kind of went by the wayside. 

Planning to make these cookies again in 2016!  I think they'd also be pretty with a few Christmas sprinkles atop the glazed area of the cookie.
