White Chocolate Dipped Eggnog Cookies & $300 Amazon Gift Card Giveaway

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.

 These White Chocolate Dipped Eggnog Cookies bake up soft, full of eggnog flavor, and have hints of creamy white chocolate nestled on top.

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!

Yep, you guessed it…by baking these White Chocolate Dipped Eggnog Cookies!

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1/2 cup eggnog

  5. Pour in eggnog and beat until mixture is creamy.
  6. Slowly add in flour mixture to the eggnog mixture, stirring until flour is just combined.
  7. Chill dough for at least 15 minutes, as this ensure cookies will bake up puffy and round.
  8. Once dough is chilled, drop by heaping spoonfuls onto prepared baking pans.
  9. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until cookies are lightly browned but still soft.
  10. Remove from oven and let cool on baking sheet completely.
  11. When cookies have cooled, melt white chocolate in the microwave for about 2 minutes until completely smooth, stirring every 30 seconds so it doesn't burn.
  12. Working one cookie at a time, dip halfway into white chocolate and then place on parchment paper to set.
  13. Sprinkle tops of white chocolate with nutmeg, if desired.
  14. Enjoy!

Notes

It is important not to overbake cookies. You will want to remove them from oven when still soft on top.

  2. Hi Gayle, Who does love the Home Alone movies, but never thought of eggnog. It's pizza we order for those movies! Anyhow, what elegant cookies, dipped cookies always look so expensive and ritzy to me, like a person took a lot of trouble and effort. But these look easy. And you can't beat the flavors. Awesome giveaway, perfect for Christmastime!

  10. Lol! I LOVE Home Alone - one of my favorite Christmas movies because I saw it at the theater as a kid. It cracked me up that you associate eggnog with Joe Pesci in that movie. Too funny! These look divine!!! I love white chocolate too, and I'm all about baking with eggnog. Love these festive and pretty cookies!

I feel like I'd love it in these pretty cookies though! They are absolutely adorable and perfect for the holidays - I absolutely love the nutmeg for garnish! Pinned :) Hope your week is off to a great start :D

  35. I love that movie, but my favorite Christmas movie is the National Lampoons Christmas Vacation. We've seen it about 6 times already this season. I also love eggnog and cookies. Together they make for a wonderful treat.

  44. Love eggnog! At least I did before I went vegan. Thankfully, Soy Delicious makes a passable version (my non vegan husband likes it in his coffee). I'm definitely trying these. Yes to Home Alone and Christmas Vacation. Two of my favorite holiday movies. :)

  45. Love "Home Alone"! We watch it every year, along with other Christmas movies... Three out of four of us love eggnog here, so if I want to bake with it, I have to hide it deep in the fridge. I love how you paired white chocolate with eggnog! These cookies sound perfect for Christmas cookie exchanges and I bet my husband could be convinced to try a few:)

    • Home Alone is such a classic movie, definitely reminds me of my childhood! Thanks so much for the kind words, Heather! The eggnog isn't too strong in these cookies, so I'm sure your husband would love these!

  48. Oh Gayle, I just LOVE that movie Home Alone. It's the only movie that I can watch Christmas after Christmas. I pretty much remember every scene, but it's such a classic. I didn't remember the eggnog part, though. Think I'd better watch it again! As for these cookies, well, they look so professional. I take your word for it that they are delicious - they certainly look it!

  50. I totally agree... I love the flavor of eggnog but it's SO creamy and thick, I can only a drink a sip or two (definitely not a whole milk fan). I do love putting in my coffee instead of milk, though! I love these cookies... such a perfect way to get my eggnog fix!!
