  1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F and line cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add in the egg yolks, eggnog, and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt.
