  • 2¼ cups FLOUR
  • 1 teaspoon BAKING POWDER
  • 1 teaspoon NUTMEG
  • ½ teaspoon CINNAMON
  • 1¼ cups GRANULATED SUGAR

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 300°.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, nutmeg and cinnamon.
  3. In a large bowl, beat together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggnog, vanilla and egg yolks. Beat at medium speed until smooth.
  4. Add flour mixture and beat at low speed until just combined. Do not over mix.
  5. Place a 1 Tablespoon-sized mound of dough on cookie sheets, give them some room to spread. Sprinkle lightly with nutmeg.
  6. Bake 15 to 18 minutes or until the edges just start to become golden. Remove to a wire rack to cool.
  7. Mix together powdered sugar and eggnog to make glaze. You may need more eggnog to make it thin enough to drizzle or spread. Sprinkle with cinnamon after glazing.
