Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line cookies sheets with parchment paper.
  • Combine the flour, salt, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and cloves together in a small bowl.
  • Using an electric mixer cream the sugar and butter together in a large bowl.
  • Add the eggnog, vanilla, and egg beating at medium speed until smooth.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Beat at low speed just until blended.
  • Create 2 tablespoon sized balls of cookie dough. Gently roll into a ball, then roll each ball in the additional sugar to coat. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet and slightly press down.
  • Leave 1 inch between each cookie.
  • Sprinkle lightly with additional nutmeg.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for about 10-12 minutes. (Or until bottoms turn light brown.)
  • Allow the cookies to cool slightly before transferring to a wire rack.
  • Leave the cookies on a wire rack to cool completely.
  • When cookies are cool, frost them with the buttercream frosting if desired and sprinkle a little cinnamon on top of the frosting. 
  • Serve and enjoy!
