Soft, chewy eggnog stuffed gingerbread cookies with a creamy eggnog filling. These tasty cookies are perfect for your holiday cookie exchange!
Baking holiday cookies are one of my favorite traditions each year. I love trying out new recipes and making a nice treat for everyone to enjoy. It’s been a while since I’ve made a stuffed cookie, so what better time than now to share holiday-inspired eggnog stuffed gingerbread cookies?
While using traditional butter is great, I love how convenient the Country Crock® Baking Sticks that you can find at your local Walmart is. They require no time to soften.
This means any last-minute baking urges can happen, or when you are just short on time you can still bake up a batch or two of these eggnog stuffed gingerbread cookies. They have two types. Salted Baking Sticks and Unsalted Baking Stick – the latter of which is what I prefer for baking these eggnog stuffed gingerbread cookies!
Tips for Making Stuffed Cookies
Chilling is usually very important when it comes to making stuffed cookies. It makes both the dough and the filling easy to handle. This is especially true when it comes to these eggnog stuffed gingerbread cookies.
The filling gets firmer, but pliable like play dough which means you can easily shape it and wrap the cookie dough around it. Chilled cookie dough keeps the dough from sticking to your hands.
Tips for a Successful Cookie Exchange
There is no right or wrong way to do a cookie exchange, but there are ways to ensure you have a wonderful one with your friends and family. The first is to always try your cookie recipe first, especially if you are making a new recipe.
Individual tastes vary when it comes to spices, so a cookie that is heavy on spices may need adjustment depending on who you are gifting the cookies to. You also want to be sure that you bake enough. You’ll need way more than a single batch to share with everyone who will want one of these.
