Eggnog Oatmeal Cookies {Oatmeal Recipes}

As you know I have been on a cookie kick around here. It’s the holidays I suppose. I realized that when I started pulling out cookie recipes that I have stuck to the same old favorites for so very long. It was time to revamp things & make some new favorites. Since the hubs all time favorite is Oatmeal Raisin I decided to start there. To me oatmeal raisin is more of a fall thing. So I decided to take his favorite holiday drink- eggnog, and my favorite oatmeal recipes & create these ultra delicious Eggnog Oatmeal Cookies. He was pretty excited. He even asked how on earth I was going to be able to make them year round when I can’t find eggnog in the stores. Yep- guess these are a new favorite when he’s worried about stuff like that.

We headed to Target to pick up some essentials. I headed to the hot cereal isle to pick up some Quaker Oats in the limited edition packaging.

It’s found exclusively at Target. Grab a coupon to pick some up.

How cute are those pine trees?? I love the winter packaging. Anything with pine trees reminds me of the hubs home of Tahoe. Even though we live in CDA now & it’s so similar to Tahoe, I still think of Tahoe first when I see winter scenes.

Really – the sparkling sugar is my favorite part. I will always find a way to use the sparking sugar. It looks like glistening snow.

These have the perfect hit if eggnog flavor to pair with the crunchy outside & chewy inside of these YUMMY oatmeal cookies.

Ingredients

  

• 1/2 cup shortening
• 1/2 cup butter - room temperature
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• 2 1.34ounce packages instant vanilla pudding mix
• 1 tbsp vanilla extract
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp water
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp molasses
• 1 cup quick cook oats
• 2-1/4 cup all purpose flour

Icing

• 1-3 cups confectioners sugar
• 1 cup eggnog
• sprinkles of choice

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees
• Beat butter & shortening together in mixer bowl until smooth
• Add in sugars - beat until fluffy
• Add eggs - mix slowly until just incorporated
• Add in pudding mix, vanilla, molasses, baking soda, water & salt - beat well
• Mix in oats & flour
• Roll into tablespoon size balls & place on baking sheet about 2 inches apart
• Bake 12-13 minutes - or until tops look lightly cracked
• Cook on baking sheet & then transfer to wire rack
• Make icing by mixing eggnog & confectioners sugar in small bowl starting with 1 cup confectioners sugar & a drizzle of eggnog. You want just enough eggnog to make it dippable but not too thin that it runs off the cookie. I ended up making 3 batches like this to get through all the cookies.
• Dip each cookie half way into icing & place on wire rack to drain
• Sprinkle with decorations before icing sets
