You are going to love these easy Eggnog Cookies with the creamy flavors of eggnog, nutmeg, cinnamon and cloves all topped with a light eggnog glaze and a sprinkling of nutmeg and cinnamon. If you are an eggnog fan than these are a must try. I love to include them on my cookie trays this time of year with my Peppermint Chocolate Thumbprint Cookies, Magic Cookie Bars, Rum Balls, and Peanut Butter Fudge.

1In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, cream of tartar, nutmeg and cloves and set aside for a few minutes.

2Using a stand mixer with the paddle attachment or a hand mixer cream butter, sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy; approximately 2 minutes. Reduce mixer to low add egg yolks; mixing just until incorporated. Add the eggnog and vanilla extract mixing on low just until combined. Add the flour mixture in 3 intervals mixing on low just until incorporated; scraping down the side of the bowl and beaters when needed. Cover and refrigerate the dough for 1 1/2-2 hours.
