Eggnog Sugar Cookies!

I was so excited about this recipe, eggnog combined with a sugar cookie, what could be better? I made a healthy version of eggnog that you can have every day and not feel guilty. As you probably know eggnog is not the healthiest holiday treat, but I tweaked the recipe to make it a new healthy addition to your holiday cookie platter! Enjoy:)
