Belated Weekend Recap
Hola peeps and happy Tuesday. Anyone else get engulfed by the wildfire smoke over the weekend? Three days straight for us with lots of air quality alerts. I hope my Canadian friends are doing okay. It was a bit of a lazy weekend to start until it wasn't. (Thanks to me, I'm sure the Mr is mumbling under his breath.). I have been throwing myself into projects this month to keep myself from spiraling over Mom's birthday this week. Not to mention constantly fighting every aspect of gardening and I swear I typed that sentence before that last time I tried in 2020. I have fungus gnats in the elevated planters because of all of the damn rain we've been getting and the soil can't dry out for them to die off. So I got some mosquito dunks that can be cut into 1/8's and put into a gallon of water overnight and then water the area to kill the larvae then dry the soil to kill the adults. This is apparently common with organic gardening but frustrating...
These are soooo awesome! I love eggnog and these cookies capture the essence of that holiday flavor perfectly. One of my co-workers liked these so much that he asked for the recipe and had his wife make more for him the next day!
ReplyDeleteThey are SOOOO good! I'm so glad I found them and if you pick up some of that egg nog from TJ's I might make you a batch. :)
DeleteI think this may be my favorite of the year too. I'm firmly in the eggnog lovers camp, but I buy light eggnog and then cut it with skim milk. The idea of that flavor in a cookie makes me really happy. Plus this year I found light, pumpkin spice flavored eggnog so I'll totally be trying a batch with that.
ReplyDeleteYou'll thank me later! :)
DeleteHmm..not a fan of eggnog but might have to try these for the nutritional value...83 calories for a cookie..heaven!!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely and I think you'll actually like the taste. More nutmeggy than anything.
DeleteLOVE eggnog. I'm a junkie thats why I stay away! I never really knew there were people who didn't like it ;) I'm not a baker, but you're inspiring me! Thanks again for sharing!
ReplyDeleteYay! I hope you make 'em, they yummy!
DeleteI am in that camp with you, sister. I can't stand the thought of drinking the stuff, but eggnog flavored cookies? YES PLEASE!
ReplyDeleteExactly! I'm hungry now!
DeleteI am definitely a NON-egg nog lover. Can't stand the oopy, goopy stuff! I'm a bit too skittish to try the enhanced stuff too :/
