Egg Nog Cookies

WE LOVED THESE COOKIES!! I made these for my husband to take to work for his guys along with several other kinds of cookies and these were my favorite!!! My husband is an egg nog addict and he is obessed with these cookies!! A must try especially for the holiday season!


Ingredients: 

1 1/4 cups white sugar
3/4 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup eggnog
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 egg yolks
1 tsp nutmeg
2 1/4 cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp cinnamon

Eggnog Glaze:
1 ½ cup powdered sugar
3 TBSP eggnog
Directions:
Preheat oven to 300 degrees
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 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.

ENJOY!!
