Eggnog Cookies recipe

Note: Dairy eggnog freezes well so freeze some extra during the Christmas season and have a treat during the summer! You can freeze eggnog in 1 cup containers so that you can make this in July and think of Christmas. You can double this but not any larger. For a change, pick your favourite chocolate quick bread recipe and marble together.
