Eggnog Cookies

Ok at this time of the year I love, love, love eggnog!!  So I had to find a recipe for eggnog cookies.  These cookies are pretty good but I think I can do better so if anyone has suggestions on making them the best ever please leave a comment!!

Eggnog Cookies
Adapted from: Holiday Cookies recipe book

2 1/4 cup flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg

1 1/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup unsalted butter, at room temp. (1 1/2 sticks)
1/2 cup eggnog
2 egg yolks
1 tsp vanilla

Nutmeg

Instructions:

1.  Preheat oven to 300 degrees
2. Shift together in a separate bowl: flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg set aside.
3. Beat the softened butter and sugar together.  Beat at least two minutes at medium speed (scrap sides a couple times during the two minutes).  Add eggnog, egg yolks, and vanilla mix well.
4. On low add in the flour mixture.  Mix only until all ingredients are well combined.
5. On an ungreased cookie sheet drop teaspoonfuls of the cookie dough, about two inches apart. Then sprinkle a little nutmeg onto the top of each dough ball.
6. Bake about 20-23 minutes or until lightly browned on the bottoms.
