Eggnog Sandwich Cookies

Eggnog Sandwich Cookies Eggnog Sandwich Cookies are a unique holiday treat.  The nutmeg and ginger sugar topping, the soft cookie, the creamy filling — all the eggnog flavors in your hand. The dough is soft and a little sticky, even after chilling.  Just do the best you can to make round cookies.  Flatten them  with a drinking glass (patterned bottom optional) dipped in flour so they are even height all the way across.  When baking, watch the time so cookies just begin to turn golden when you remove them from the oven.  (Some of mine got a little too brown this time!)  We really liked them plain, but the filling definitely lifts things up a notch.  Wait until they are well cooled before assembling sandwiches.  The yield is approximately 72 cookies which will make 36 sandwiches.  These are better eaten within a three or four days of baking.  Pop them in the freezer if you want to bake ahead.

Nothing says Christmas like eggnog! Unless it is two tastes-just-like-eggnog cookies sandwiched with creamy filling for twice the flavor.
