What is your favorite Christmas cookie recipe?
*Originally published November 2018*
These cookies are good. Will definitely make them again.
Little confused on the recipe and directions:
The recipe says 1 egg yokes, the directions say to add the egg yokes.
Should there be 1 egg yoke or 2 yokes?
Thanks
Hi Paula! So glad you loved them! Yes, it’s 2 egg yolks added to the recipes. I will go double check the post to make sure that’s what it says 🙂 Thanks so much!
You state to preheat the oven to300*but then state bake at 350* for 23 minutes. Which temp is it?
Hi Tina! I’m so sorry about that. You bake at 350 degrees 🙂
I love eggnog, and I love cookies! It’s like these were designed for me!
Haha!! Then you will definitely love these!
I see you have addressed the temp issue, should be 350 but what is the baking time. 23-25 minutes seems like a long time. Please let us all know if this is correct.
Hi Nancy! Thank you so much for letting me know. The oven should be set for 300 degrees and baking time is between 20-23 minutes or until bottom of cookies start browning. If you want, you can also bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until bottom again starts browning. I hope this helps and I appreciate you catching the errors 🙂 Hope you like them! Happy Holidays!
These cookies taste good, but the directions are so so. Using a small scoop and dropping by teaspoons made over 3 dozen…. not 16! And it took until the 3rd pan of them to look anything like the picture. Will be playing around with this to tweak it some.
Love these cookies!! Will definitely keep the recipe around!
How long would they last for ? Would they freeze well?
Thanks in advance
If you don’t have an ice cream scoop, what else can you use to measure cookie balls out
Measuring spoons also work great! Especially the tablespoon one.
it is so delicious. My kids really like it
I’m so glad they did!
I am in Colorado. I added and additional 1/4c flour and did 350* 15 min spinning half way through. They were perfect!!!my new fav cookie.
They are my favorite holiday cookies for parties! Thank you for sharing! Happy Holidays!
These are really good cookies! Nothing fancy but soft and the flavor is really good!
Amazing cokki
These are delicious! Everyone just loves them. Nonna had me make them again for her tonight. I mean if Nonna says they’re good then they are good because she is absolutely the hardest person to say something is good!
