Eggnog Snickerdoodles

 My family loves eggnog especially me and my little sister, so I knew these these cookies would be a huge hit . These cookies are thick and soft, with a complementing eggnog flavor. The spices add a nice flavor to the cookie while contributing to the classic eggnog flavor we all know and love. These cookies stay soft and moist for longer then any other cookie I have made ever made. These cookies turned out so well, I will be sure to make a few batches for my friends and family this holiday season.
