    Eggnog White Chocolate Cranberry Cookies recipe is one of my Christmas cookie favorites! The eggnog flavor really comes through in these soft, cake-like cookies. The addition of white chocolate chips and cranberries make these exceptionally tasty!

    How to make the perfect Eggnog Cookies using these helpful tips.

    • Gourmet or full fat creamy eggnog works best in this recipe. I found light eggnog was thinner and the cookies spread out and did not get the nice cake-like texture to them.
    • Preheat the oven to 300ºF and line cookie sheets with parchment paper. Parchment paper is great for baking cookies. It makes for easy cleanup and prevents cookies from sticking to baking sheet.
    • Make sure your butter is at room temperature, when gently pressed with your finger it makes an imprint. In addition, have eggs and eggnog at room temperature. This makes dough that keeps the cookies high and fluffy.
    • Using the paddle attachment on your blender cream the butter and sugar until pale and fluffy.
    • Measure flour by scooping it from the bag with a measuring cup, then level it even with a knife. In most recipes flour is never sifted before measuring unless the recipe specifically calls for it.
    • I use a whisk to mix all the dry ingredients to ensure they are well combined.
    • When mixing in the dry ingredients blend just until combined. Don't overmix.
    • For nice, even sized cookies I find a small cookie scoop works best.
    • These Eggnog Cookies freeze well, great for making ahead of time. Freeze in layers separated by wax paper in well-sealed container.

    The dough for these cookies is light and sticky, which gives the cookies a great cake-like texture.

    A small sized cookie scoop makes it easy to place dough onto baking sheets and also helps to make perfectly sized cookies.

    Bake 300ºF for 16-18 minutes. I always bake using convection mode, so baking time may be a few minutes more in regular oven.

      These are wonderful. I baked them at 305F* for 30 minutes a batch (not convection). I used two racks in the bottom third of the oven and switched the pans rack to rack and back to front at 15 minutes. I got 39 cookies.

      I used salted butter.

      *My oven gets a little weird and drops temperature so I usually go just a little higher than called for. It seems to help.

      Cookies came out delicious. I only have handheld mixer but worked fine. I've never seen a cookie recipe with oven setting at 300f. Even my convection oven needed about 25 min! I'm going 325f next time. Thank you
