Cookie

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line parchment paper on a cookie sheet and set aside.

In a large mixing bowl with a hand mixer or in a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

Add the egg yolks, eggnog, and vanilla and continuing beating until creamy.

In a separate bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt.

Add to the butter/sugar mixture, a little at a time, and beat until well combined.

Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, form the dough into small balls and place a few inches apart on the cookie sheet.

Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool.
