Eggnog Cookies

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat the oven to 300°F.
2. 2
   In a bowl, mix together the flour, nutmeg, cinnamon and baking powder. Set aside for later use.
3. 3
   In a mixing bowl, cream the sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Slowly add the eggnog, vanilla, and egg yolks. Mix with a mixer until smooth. Add the flour mixture and beat until just combined.
4. 4
   Drop dough by teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets, one inch apart. Lightly sprinkle each cookie with nutmeg. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned.
5. 5
   Note: for sweeter cookies, mix together 1/2 cup powdered sugar and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon in a small bowl. Roll the dough into balls and drop into the powdered sugar mixture before placing cookies on the cookie sheet. You will loose a bit of the eggnog taste in lieu of a more sweeter cookie. Your choice.
