About
this recipe
Brighten your holidays with these Eggnog Spiced Butter Cookies that let the caramel and vanilla flavors of Maker’s Mark® shine. As you might expect, these are great served alongside eggnog or simply with Maker’s® neat. Trace amounts of alcohol may exist after baking but should be almost entirely cooked off at this temperature and duration of time.
