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.

Instructions
 

  • Cook the eggnog in a skillet until it is reduced and thickened. You should have roughly ⅓ cup left of the eggnog.
  • Pour the reduced eggnog over the white chocolate and allow to sit for a minute before stirring. The residual heat of the eggnog should melt the chocolate, but if not, you may use a microwave on 20 second intervals to melt the white chocolate. Stir well to combine. (You should not need more than one or two 20-second intervals
  • Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, then stir in the flour and egg yolk.
  • Cover and set the mixture in the refrigerator to cool.
  • Beat the baking sticks and sugar together until light in color and fluffy. Add in the egg and molasses. Beat well for about two minutes to combine.
  • Add in the flour, salt, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg. Mix until just combined.
  • Store in the refrigerator for about an hour to chill.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Take 1 teaspoon to 1 ½ teaspoons of the eggnog mixture and use 1 ½ tablespoons of cookie dough to cover the eggnog completely.
  • Place granulated sugar in a bowl or a plate and roll the dough in the sugar.
  • Place on a baking sheet at least 2-inches apart.
  • Bake for about 8 - 10 minutes, or until the edges are set. Place on a wire rack to cool.

      Each batch makes roughly 18 cookies! It depends on how generous your tablespoon scoops are!
