Well, I’m not going to start by suggesting that this recipe is a great use for leftover egg nog..because let’s face it, who has leftover egg nog??!  However, I am going to suggest that the next time you make some holiday chicken wing appetizers, you skip that typical buttermilk, and exercise a fun, festive and delicious egg nog swap.

That’s right~  I know it might sound crazy, but trust me.  The egg nog adds an incredible and succulent flavor to the wings that ends up being a subtle, yet one of a kind balance of flavors that make them totally AMAZING!  These wings are juicy, tender and will have everyone asking for the “secret ingredient”.

When you bite into one of the wings, the first thing you will notice is a sweet and spicy glaze that happened all on its own in the oven.  The egg nog provides the best self-basting sauce ever…while infusing the chicken with a rich and decadent taste.

~Make LOTS!

What you’ll need:

25 chicken wings

2 cups egg nog

1 tsp. chili powder

1 tsp. all spice

a dash of cayenne pepper.. to taste

Directions:

Stir the seasonings into the egg nog, and soak the defrosted wings in the mixture for at least an hour to overnight if possible, stirring occasionally to evenly coat…

Then place them on a baking sheet and bake them at 400 degrees for approx, 25 minutes, or until they’re golden and cooked through.

Serve warm so they’re nice and sticky!  ~Enjoy!  🙂

How great is Egg Nog?!  Seriously, probably one the best treats of the Holidays, and yet a bit underrated!  I think of it as melted Ice Cream on crack!  And thanks to that thick, amazing sweetness, now we can class up our Holiday breakfast with Egg Nog soaked Pancakes Crepes, drenched in Rum Syrup~  MERRY Thanksgiving!  🙂

What makes these classy you ask?  Only the fact that they’re extra ‘eggy’, succulent, decadent and rolled up like Crepes~~  Oh.. and dripping in Rum Syrup that’s what.

~Impress those inlaws and roll up your Boozy Pancakes, they’ll only have good things to say about you to the rest of the family…haha!

What you’ll need for enough Pan-Crepes to impress 4 annoying hungry house guests:

1 cup Pancake Mix

1 cup Egg Nog

2 eggs

1 tablespoon Nutmeg

Rum Syrup:

1/4 cup Maple Syrup & a splash of Rum!  ..and by “splash” I mean, however the heck much you want!  🙂

Directions:

In a medium bowl combine the Pancake Mix, Egg Nog, Eggs, and Nutmeg.  This will be a much thinner Pancake Batter than you’re used to…

Egg Nog incoming…

Griddle them up in a ‘crepe-like’ fashion..round & thin!  Golden on both sides…

While they’re warm, gently roll them up, it they crack a little…no biggie~ add more Rum Syrup to cover them up..lol

Make that Rum Syrup~

Simply combine the Syrup and the Rum in a small bowl, mix well…

You know what to do next…

Eat it!  ~Enjoy!  🙂

I couldn’t just look at that giant jug of Egg Nog sitting in the fridge and not want to take it to new, and delicious places!  This time that thick, rich, sweet drinkable treat literally transformed into some cookies, and OMG!

 The Egg Nog totally makes the cookies so moist, and chewy, yet it gave them that creamy unique Egg Nog flavor that literally made these one of the BEST cookies I’ve ever had!  They totally melt in your mouth~

I think using Egg Nog in this way is almost better than drinking it..lol

**As a bonus..there is NO Egg in this dough, so you know what that means..YEP~~  You can EAT the dough..frost with it..dip with it…LOVE it!

What you’ll need for 2 dozen+ Cookies:

2 cups all purpose flour

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 cup melted butter

2 cups sugar

2/3 cup Egg Nog

2 cups Chocolate Chunk Morsels

Directions:

preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

In a med. bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt…

In a large bowl, combine the melted butter…

with the Sugar…

and Egg Nog…

Combine the dry ingredients into the wet, a little bit at a time…

Mix until smooth and thick.  Now stir in the Chocolate Chunks.

Place 1-inch balls of dough onto a baking sheet, leaving about two inches between them…  (Forgive my “seasoned” sheet pan..lol)

**For a thicker cookie result, at this point, put the sheet pan of dough balls into the freezer for a good hour or so, then directly into the oven.  Either way they’re still delicious! 🙂

Bake for 10-12 minutes, until cookies are set around the edges.  (Placing the dough balls into the freezer for a few minutes before you bake them will create thicker and ‘taller’ cookies…totally optional!)

Cool for a couple of minutes, but they are SO amazing warm!

This recipe makes plenty to go around!!

And they’re SO pretty…

They go great with a tall glass of Egg Nog…

BUT~~ They go even better with your lips!   ~Enjoy!  🙂
