Cookies:

1 1/4 cups white sugar

3/4 cup butter, softened

1/2 cup eggnog

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 egg yolks

1 teaspoon nutmeg

2 1/4 cups flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Eggnog Glaze:

1 ½ cup powdered sugar

3 tablespoons eggnog

Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C)

Combine flour, baking powder, cinnamon and nutmeg.

Cream sugar and butter until light

Add eggnog, vanilla, and egg yolks; beat at medium speed with mixer until smooth.

Add flour mixture and beat at low speed until just combined.

Do not over mix

Spoon onto un-greased cookie sheets or parchment paper and make the dough balls rather small, they will spread generously in the oven.

Sprinkle lightly with nutmeg.

Bake 15 to 18 minutes or until the edges barely start to brown.

While cookies are in the oven, make the eggnog glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar with 3 T eggnog.

Gaze your cookies warm or cooled and top with cinnamon.
