I came across this recipe while looking to make holiday cookies. It is smooooooth and creamy and oh so yummy! IT CRUSTS TOO! Even still, once you snap that crusted shell, it is creamy smooth underneath. mmm mmm mmm!

I goofed with the first batch & wasn't paying attention and used heavy cream & the cookies turned out good but not near as good as with the eggnog!

I hope ya'll enjoy this as much as I do.
