21/4 cup flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground Nutmeg, plus extra for sprinkling
1 1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 cup eggnog
2 large egg yolks

Preheat an oven to 300. In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and 1/2 tsp nutmeg. Mix well with a wire whisk and set aside.

In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar with an electric mixer to form a grainy paste. Add eggnog, vanilla, and egg yolks. Beat at medium speed till smooth.

Add the flour mixture on low until just combined. DO NOT OVER MIX. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheets, 1 inch a part. Sprinkle lightly with a little nutmeg. Bake 23-25 minutes or until edges are lightly browned.

Immediately transfer to cooling rack.
