  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup eggnog
For Dusting

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
Mixing Dough
  1. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the eggnog, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
Baking
  1. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart.
  2. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  3. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  4. Dust with powdered sugar if desired once cooled.

Notes
