Eggnog Snowball Cookies

November 23, 2022

Eggnog Snowball Cookies
Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Festive and decadent, my Eggnog Snowball Cookies are a must-have dairy-free vegan holiday delight!

These lovely little balls of joy have a rich and perfectly spiced eggnog dough centre, covered in cinnamon and icing sugar.

My Eggnog Snowball Cookies recipe uses simple ingredients and is super versatile. These cookies can be easily adapted into gluten-free snowball cookies by simply replacing the all purpose flour with Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free 1-to-1 Baking Flour!

Vegan Dairy Free Eggnog

Eggnog Snowball Cookies

With its thick, rich, creamy and sweet taste and overtones of nutmeg and brandy, eggnog is the perfect ingredient to add to holiday desserts. Dairy-free eggnog is absolutely gorgeous in this snowball cookie recipe! It replaces the milk in a typical snowball cookie recipe, making for a complex flavour and a delightfully holiday-spiced dessert.

Dairy-free and vegan eggnogs are thankfully widely available these days! So, we vegans can enjoy this iconic Christmas spiced beverage in a plant-based form.

In my vegan Eggnog Snowball Cookies I use So Delicious Holiday Nog. I’ve tried a bunch of dairy-free eggnog beverages and I find that the So Delicious brand makes the best. The flavour is spot on. It has the most lovely spice profile that tastes of nutmeg mixed with a rich brandy aroma.

Basically it tastes like classic Christmas in a glass.

Another plus of the So Delicious Holiday Nog is the nutritional information! There’s only 90 calories per serving and it’s also gluten free and certified vegan.

Ingredients in This Recipe

Eggnog Snowball Cookies
  • Vegan butter
  • Confectioner’s sugar (I use vegan Wholesome Organic icing Sugar)
  • Vegan eggnog (I use So Delicious Holiday Nog)
  • Vanilla extract
  • All-purpose flour (or replace with gluten free flour)
  • Cinnamon
  • Nutmeg
  • Cloves (ground or crushed whole)

How to Make Eggnog Snowball Cookies

Snowball Cookies
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cream together butter and confectioner’s sugar in a stand mixer, or with an electric hand mixer (or by hand).
  1. Add in vegan eggnog and vanilla extract. Beat until creamy.
  1. In a separate small bowl, whisk together flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ground cloves. Slowly beat dry ingredients into wet ingredients. Dough will be stiff but will come together when pressed.
  1. Roll dough into 1 inch balls. Bake for 8-10 minutes so that bottoms just start to turn golden brown.
  1. Allow balls to cool for 2-4 minutes (or until you can handle them) on baking sheet.
Coating
  1. Stir together confectioner’s sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a small bowl. Roll cookies in sugar mixture to coat.
  1. Place on a wire rack to cool completely. Give them another roll in the sugar mixture to fully coat and give them a beautiful white finish.

Common Questions

How long will these cookies last in the refrigerator?

These Eggnog Snowball Cookies will last for at least four days at room temperature and up to two weeks in the fridge in an air tight container.

Can I freeze these cookies?

Yes! These cookies freeze very well. You can optionally freshen up their look by rolling them in more of the icing sugar coating once thawed.

I can’t find vegan eggnog. Can I use regular plant milk?

Absolutely! You can use your plant milk of choice in this recipe, using the same amount.
