Oatmeal Eggnog Cookies

Oatmeal Eggnog Cookies are a delicious way to capture that irresistible holiday flavour. They are soft and chewy with that warm nutty nutmeg flavour. If you are an eggnog lover, then you will love these cookies. Oatmeal eggnog cookies don’t actually contain eggnog, they are vegan and also gluten-free!

I usually share candy cane desserts over the holidays, but this year I decided to change it up with these oatmeal eggnog cookies. If you are a candy cane lover, you will love my Candy Cane Blondies, Candy Cane Black Bean Brownies and Candy Cane Bark!
