Eggnog Cookies

Ingredients

• 2.25 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg, or as needed
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1.25 cups white sugar
• 0.75 cup butter, softened
• 0.5 cup eggnog
• 2 egg yolks
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps

1. Gather all ingredients.
2. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Sift flour, baking powder, nutmeg, and cinnamon into a bowl; set aside.
3. Beat sugar and butter together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add eggnog, egg yolks, and vanilla; beat at medium speed until smooth.
4. Gradually beat in flour mixture at low speed until just combined.
5. Drop rounded teaspoonfuls of dough 1 inch apart onto ungreased baking sheets; sprinkle lightly with additional nutmeg.
6. Bake in the preheated oven until the edges are lightly golden and the tops are set, about 20 minutes.
7. Let cookies cool on the baking sheets until firm enough to move, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
