Posted in : Recipes on by : Beckie Tags: cookies, holiday
2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1-1/4 cups sugar
3/4 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup eggnog
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 egg yolks
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C).
Combine flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix well with a wire whisk and set aside.
Cream sugar and butter until it forms a grainy paste. Stir in eggnog, vanilla, and egg yolks. Beat at medium speed until smooth. Add flour mixture and beat at low speed just until combined.
Drop cookie dough by rounded teaspoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheets, 1 inch apart. Sprinkle lightly with nutmeg. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until bottoms turn light brown.
