Spiced Eggnog Cookies with Eggnog Glaze

Today, you actually get a lot more than just my cookies. We are actually having an awesome Virtual Christmas Cookie Exchange with a bunch of talented food bloggers. You know what’s great about a virtual cookie exchange? For one, I get to eat all these delicious eggnog cookie that I made. For two, I get a lot of spectacular recipes for making a lot more cookies. And, of course, you get all these great recipes so you can bake and eat cookies until you burst at the seams!

I also want to mention a great charity that I hope you’ll check out. It’s Santa’s Milk Drive and they are part of the Great American Milk Drive. They urge people to donate more milk to local food banks. Food banks are in need of milk and the best part is that you can donate right on your computer.  It’s very simple and a big plus is when you go  to the site to donate, you simply type in your zip code and the donation and the milk will be distributed to a food bank in your local area. You know you will be supporting your own community.
