Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 375℉ and line 3 large baking sheets with parchment paper.
2
In a large bowl using a handheld electric mixer on medium speed, cream together the butter, vanilla pudding mix, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Add the vanilla, rum extract, and eggs and beat on medium speed until fluffy and light in colour.
3
Add the flour, baking soda, nutmeg, and cloves to the wet ingredients and mix on low speed until just combined. Fold in the white chocolate chips. If your dough is too soft to shape, cover and chill in the refrigerator for 20 minutes or until firmed up a bit.
4
Roll the dough into balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets, 8 cookies per pan. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-12 minutes or until the bottoms are golden brown. Remove from oven and let the cookies cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to finish cooling. Bake the remaining pans of cookies. Enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Bloom the Pudding Mix 🥄Whisk the instant vanilla pudding powder with the eggs before mixing with other ingredients to fully activate its thickening and flavoring properties, ensuring maximum creaminess in every bite.
- Brown Your Butter First 🧈Melt and brown the salted butter until it develops a nutty aroma, then cool slightly before creaming with sugars—this adds depth and complexity that elevates the eggnog flavor profile significantly.
- Toast Your Spices 🌟Lightly toast the ground nutmeg and cloves in a dry pan for 30 seconds before adding to your dry ingredients to intensify their festive flavors and reduce any raw spice harshness.
- Chill Dough Before Baking ❄️Refrigerate the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes to prevent excessive spreading and ensure chewy centers with crispy edges, while allowing flavors to meld and develop.
- White Chocolate Chip Protection 🍫Coat your white chocolate chips lightly in flour before folding into dough to prevent them from sinking to the bottom and melting excessively during baking.
