Favorite oatmeal cookies

This cookie recipe is based on my favorite oatmeal cookie recipe. It’s the one my mom always made when I was a kid.

In fact, it’s still one of my favorite cookies!

Make it festive

So I decided to make it festive and give it an eggnog twist!

You can see the plain eggnog cookies in the picture below.

Or, make them even fancier by adding the eggnog drizzle on top.
