Eggnog Cookies are flavored with eggnog, laced with nutmeg, scented with vanilla, and soft and chewy inside and crispy outside. Whip up the whole batch in just over 30 minutes for the perfect last-minute addition to your cookie tray!
Preheat the oven to 350F. Line 2 large baking trays with parchment paper or silpat liners.
Mix together the butter, ¾ cup sugar, egg yolk, eggnog, and vanilla in a large bowl.
Add the flour, salt, baking powder, and nutmeg and stir to combine.
Use a 1 ½-tablespoon scoop to measure out the cookie dough. Roll the dough balls in the remaining ¼ cup sugar to coat. Arrange the sugared dough balls on the prepared baking sheets.
Bake until the cookies are set along the outside and just a touch doughy in the center, about 15 minutes, rotating the trays once halfway through.
Cool on the cookie trays and then remove.
