Step one: Pour it in the trash.

I was just gifted some egg nog cookies that were amazing.

They looked vaguely like these: https://www.recipegirl.com/eggnog-cookies/

I've used it in pancakes. Cookies are an interesting twist.

I used to be huge into egg nog before I started to care about being fat and realized how UNBELIEVABLY UNHEALTHY IT IS.

Seriously. Check out a label. It's wild. I still love the stuff, but I'll never buy it again. I'll just steal sips from it at my parents house around Xmas and call it a night.

As someone who's getting married in June, I get it. I've been trying to cut out stuff I like but realize aren't the best to be eating/drinking. No more craft beers for this guy

I think I answer this every year but I do the Almond Nog.  I tried Oat Nog this year and it gave me the runs.

I got married a couple of years and ago, and that was the motivation for me finally trying hard to lose weight. I lost 40lbs in 4 months leading up to my wedding doing Keto. A little over 2 years later I'm still down 75 lbs overall right now. Was down as much as 81lbs at one point, but I cheat around the holidays.

Yeah I lost 27 pounds from beginning of May through September. Did like a month of keto to drop weight quick and then let myself cheat like once a week and mostly stayed low carb. Then fall hit and then I wasn’t as strict. Walking every day on my break for an hour during the summer months helped drop a lot of weight since you’re drenched in sweat on those hot days. I need to get back to keto and walking every day.

I'm teaching health this year. I made up a pledge for the class.

I want to live a long life and die healthy. I will choose good parents, avoid bad stuff, embrace good stuff, and not get fatter and fatter every year until I die like most first world citizens.

You get to choose?

That's part of the lesson. You can't choose but you should pay attention to any genetic risk factors and take appropriate steps.
