10. Eggnog Sugar Cookie Bars – Mandy’s Recipe Box
I drink as much eggnog as possible around the holidays (this could be why the only articles of clothing I want to wear right now are yoga pants?) so eggnog cookies seem like a natural extension of that obsession…

Oreos are good, but homemade chocolate sandwich cookies put Oreos to shame. Don’t take my word for it – make these yourself!
