2 & 1/4 cups flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1 & 1/4 cups sugar
3/4 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup eggnog
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 large egg yolks
Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
Combine flour, baking powder, cinnamon and nutmeg. Mix well with a wire whisk and set aside. Cream sugar and butter with a electric mixer until it forms a grainy paste. Add eggnog, vanilla and egg yolks and beat at medium speed until smooth. Add flour mixture and beat at low speed JUST until combined do not over
mix. Drop by teaspoonful onto an ungreased cookie sheet 1 inch apart. Sprinkle with nutmeg and bake for 23 to 25 minutes or until bottoms are light brown. Transfer to a flat surface to cool immediately.
These cookies are better the longer they set Ok to eat them right away but the flavor is better if they set at least 24 hours.
