Baking Instructions
- In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg then set aside.
- Cream the butter and sugar in the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment or in a large bowl if using an electric hand mixer. Scrap the bowl down and beat on high until light and fluffy.
- Pour in the eggnog and vanilla then add the egg yolks in one at a time while mixing on medium then scrape the bowl down and mix once more.
- Add the flour in while mixing on low and mix until just combined. Finish the batter off with a spatula mixing in any stray bits of butter or flour.
Notes
No chill time is needed but you can chill the dough if making it ahead of time. Measure your flour with a scale for best results. If you don't have one, fluff the flour and sprinkle it into your measuring cup before leveling. Try to keep your cookies all the same size so they bake evenly. Make sure you don't use more than 2 tablespoon of cookie dough or the cookies will spread too much. Make sure to let the cookies cool on the baking tray for around 10 minutes before moving to a cooling rack.
