Eggnog Snickerdoodle Thumbprint Cookies are soft, chewy holiday cookies spiced with cinnamon and nutmeg, rolled in cinnamon sugar, and filled with a festive eggnog twist. They’re perfect for cozy gatherings, gift boxes, or enjoying with hot cocoa.

Ingredients

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup granulated sugar

1 large egg

1/4 cup eggnog

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup cinnamon sugar (for rolling)

1/4 cup white chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.
  3. Cream butter and sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  4. Beat in egg, eggnog, and vanilla until smooth.
  5. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Roll dough into 1-inch balls, coat in cinnamon sugar, and place 2 inches apart on the baking sheet.
  7. Press a thumbprint or spoon indent into the center of each cookie.
  8. Bake 10–12 minutes, until edges are lightly golden.
  9. While warm, press a few white chocolate chips into the center (if using).
  10. Cool on a wire rack before serving.

Notes

Drizzle with melted white chocolate for extra festiveness.

For stronger spice flavor, add more cinnamon and nutmeg.

Replace white chocolate chips with crushed peppermint candies for a holiday twist.

Store with a slice of bread in the container to keep cookies soft.

Dough can be made ahead and refrigerated overnight.
