Eggnog Cookies from Kelly Peloza’s The Vegan Cookie Connoisseur
These Eggnog Cookies are from Kelly Peloza’s amazing book The Vegan Cookie Connoiseur. If you like cookies, you should buy this right now.
When I decided to do this project, I emailed Kelly right away and asked her permission to reprint this recipe here. There was just no way I was going to do a Christmas cookie project without it. Thank you, Kelly, for allowing me to share it!
If you’re not a drinker or just don’t like rum, you can easily omit the rum in the recipe: substitute 2 additional tablespoons of vegan eggnog or soymilk in the cookie, and omit the rum entirely from the glaze. The grated nutmeg will still do the job of conveying the nog flavor. Speaking of the nutmeg: please do use freshly grated nutmeg here if you can. It makes a big difference!
