Directions:
Directions:
1. Preheat your oven to 300 degrees.
2. Into a medium-sized mixing bowl place 2 1/4 cup flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and a dash of salt. Toss the ingredients around a bit with a fork to be sure they are combined.
3. In your stand mixer or large mixing bowl, cream together 1 1/4 cups sugar and 3/4 cup softened butter. They should get nice and fluffy for you after a minute or so.
4. Add 2 egg yolks. (Just the yolks, now). Mix until well combined.
5. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla, 1/2 cup egg nog and then mix.
6. Add the dry ingredients and mix just until combined.
7. Spray a large cookie sheet with cooking spray and scoop the soft (and kind of sticky) dough onto the sheet. I sprayed some cooking spray into the cookie scoop I used as well.
8. Bake for 20-22 minutes, or until the tops of the cookies spring back when lightly tapped.
9. Remove the cookies onto a wire rack and allow them to cool completely.
10. To make the frosting, place 4 tablespoons softened butter into a small mixing bowl. Add 2 1/2 cups powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla, 6 tablespoons egg nog, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg and a dash of salt. Beat until smooth and glossy.
11. Frost your cookies, then allow them to sit on the counter for about 15 minutes so the frosting can set up a bit.
