We’re officially a full week into December, which means that we’re inching closer and closer to the holidays. Besides Christmas trees, presents, and countless baked goods on overdrive, the holiday season brings one of my favorite things: eggnog! Smooth, creamy, and packed with an irresistible taste, it always reminds me of Christmas.
Eggnog also reminds me of the movies Home Alone and Christmas Vacation. Why? Well at the beginning of Home Alone, Kevin’s dad comes down the stairs and tells the “police officer” to get some eggnog. And I always hear Joe Pesci’s voice in my head saying “eggnog….eggnog?!” Maybe it’s just me? Or how about in Christmas Vacation, when Clark and Eddie are standing by the Christmas tree drinking eggnog out of their moose mugs? Love it!
Are you a fan of eggnog? While I love the taste of it, I can only drink a little, as it’s too rich for me. I usually end up buying a half gallon and then not finishing it, as the hubster will only drink a small amount, too. But I finally figured out a way to get the most out of eggnog! Yep, you guessed it…by baking these White Chocolate Dipped Eggnog Cookies!
I’m sure you’ve seen dozens of eggnog cookies floating around Pinterest world within the past few months. So in order to make these White Chocolate Dipped Eggnog Cookies stand out, I experimented with a lot of flavors and my favorite ingredient, white chocolate!
