Eggnog Cookies {Recipe}

Yesterday I wrote about rompope, that Mexican eggnog-like drink that is very popular this time of the year. I posted a recipe to make a deliciuos hot drink with it called atole. There are many other things, however, you can makea with rompope (and any other eggnog, as a matter of fact) and this being the season of cookies I really wanted to make some eggnog cookies.

I searched online for a rompope cookies recipe. Unfortunately, I didn’t find much. So I broadened my search to eggnog cookies and I found a lot of recipes. I took a little bit from several of them to make these eggnog cookies. Hands down, this has been the best cookie recipe I have tasted this year, and maybe in many years. Maybe it’s just my love for rompope and its alcoholic content (who would’ve thought!). Or maybe the fact that I used peanut butter and chocolate chips; or just the sum of all of the ingredients that made them so good. Whatever it was, I couldn’t wait to share this recipe with you.
