I found a recipe for Holiday Eggnog Cookies and thought that I'd surprise him by making a batch. These cookies are a tender, crisp and light cookie that I think would go well with a hot cup of tea. They're dusted with a hint of nutmeg - one of my favorite spices!
Susan at Food Blogga is hosting Eat Christmas Cookies, Season 2! I thought this would be a fun thing to do, so I'm sending this recipe to be included.

1 tsp vanilla extract
2 egg yolks
1 tsp ground nutmeg
2-1/4 cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
Preheat oven to 300 F. Combine flour, baking powder, cinnamon and nutmeg. Cream sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Add eggnog, vanilla and egg yolks.
