Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ¾ cups (330g) all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 ¼ cups (250g) granulated sugar

- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- ¼ cup granulated sugar (for coating)

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg together.
- In a large bowl, beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add the egg and mix until incorporated. Pour in the eggnog and vanilla, then mix until combined.
- Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until a soft dough forms.
- Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg for the coating.
- Scoop about 1.5 tablespoons of dough, roll into balls, and coat in the spiced sugar mix.
- Arrange the coated balls on the baking sheets with 2 inches of space between each.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until edges are set and tops have small cracks.
- Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Chilling the dough helps maintain the cookie shape.
- Use full-fat eggnog for the best flavor.
