Ingredients:
For the cookies:
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 egg yolks
- 1/2 cup eggnog
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
For the rum glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tbsp eggnog
- 1 tbsp rum
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
3. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg yolks, eggnog, and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
5. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

7. To make the rum glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, melted butter, eggnog, and rum until smooth.
8. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cookies and let it set for a few minutes before serving.
