    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can I freeze eggnog cookies?

    Yes! These cookies freeze really well. Just make sure that you give the frosting plenty of time to dry before putting them into a freezer container or they will stick together.

    How do I store these gluten free cookies?

    These cookies are best stored in an air-tight container. Make sure to give the frosting plenty of time to harden and dry before you store them.

    How do I make eggnog cookies?

    You need to lay your ½ cup of unsalted butter our ahead of time so it is softened. You also want to allow time for these cookies to chill for an hour before baking them. Remember that the cookies need to be completely cooled before you can frost them. Make sure you give yourself sufficient time.

    Top Tip

    If you love eggnog, you will love these gluten free eggnog cookies! Both the cookies and the frosting have eggnog in them, so you get lots of flavor. These cookies are easy and quick to put together. I like to bake them the day before and then glaze them the next day so they are completely cooled.
