I had one a few years ago that did not use egg nog but tastes like it. All the ones I've found on the net use the nog. can anyone help?

Up North

Were they Snicker doodles by any chance they have nutmed and sort of taste like eggnog.

I can try that...thank you. They surely won't go to waste if they aren't quite right. =)

Don't have that one but I do have a recipe for eggnog truffles!! Interested?

Try adding nutmeg (not too much can go to a "soapy" taste) to a snickerdoodle recipe, roll in sugar only (if you want to stay away from cinnamon)
