Day 5- Eggnog Cookies
Are you an Eggnog fan?? Well, I'm definately not. hah! But surprisingly, I loved these cookies! I was really amazed to see that these cookies had a very little taste of Eggnog. Even if you aren't an Eggnog lover like me, you should still give these cookies a try! These cookies have a very mild Eggnog flavor, but it's the frosting that makes the cookie taste even better; sprinkled with a little bit of nutmeg on top. Don't be afraid, just try it! (:
