The cookies came out really well! I followed the cookie recipe exactly and got nice compliments on it. For the liquor I used Bulleit bourbon.
The only reason why I gave the recipe four stars is because I did not love the glaze. Now, I didn't actually try the glaze and cookie combined before I altered it, so it's possible that others would enjoy it, but for me the taste of the confectioner's sugar was a little sickly sweet. To tamp down that sweetness a bit and not contradict the eggnog flavor, I added black walnut bitters and cherry bark vanilla bitters from my liquor shelf to taste and I loved it!
Will definitely be making this again. It was my first experience with madeleines so thanks for a great recipe!

I think I found my cookie exchange recipe for 2017! For an eggnog cookie I'd be tempted to use rum. See what happens.

Would it be okay to use a nonstick Madeleine pan? or is it best to use NOT a nonstick steel pan?
