These No Bake Eggnog Cookies are perfect if you love eggnog and need a quick cookies recipe that requires no baking. Chewy, creamy, and flavorful!
Merry Christmas Eve!
If you are in need of a quick cookie recipe to snack on while gift-wrapping or for the kids to leave for Santa, then I got you covered.
This recipe is an easy eggnog cookie recipe that does not require the use of the inside of your oven. However, it will require you to use the stovetop for a few minutes. But I promise it will be painless because you will combine several of the ingredients into a large pot and stir.
Then you will add in a few more ingredients and stir a little more.
These cookies are made using quick oats, so the beginning of the recipe feels very similar to making oatmeal. Then you will scoop the cookies onto a baking sheet and wait for them to get thick and set before eating. They have a thick and chewy texture from the addition of the oatmeal. And they are the perfect combination of everything that you love about eggnog with the use of your favorite eggnog and ground nutmeg.
Trust me you will not be disappointed in this recipe and Santa is sure to love them 😉
