Notes

MY FAVORITE COOKIE MIX: As you know, I love Krusteaz Cookie Mixes and I can honestly say that their Snickerdoodle Cookie Mix is probably my favorite of them all. I love that I can use a cookie mix to make baking so much easier but they still taste like I made them from scratch.
EGGNOG FROSTING: This eggnog frosting is the BOMB! But if you don’t like eggnog or you can’t find eggnog, you can just use regular milk or heavy whipping cream instead.
