Cookie Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Whisk together the dry ingredients in a bowl: flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg.

  4. Blend in the egg, eggnog, and vanilla extract until everything is harmoniously combined.
  5. Combine the dry ingredients with the wet mixture gradually. Mix until just combined.
  6. Scoop the dough by tablespoonfuls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  8. Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
Frosting Preparation
  1. Prepare the frosting by mixing powdered sugar, eggnog, and nutmeg in a bowl until you achieve a smooth consistency.
  2. Frost the cooled cookies generously with your eggnog frosting.
