Method
 

For Cookies:
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F in line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, add your softened butter, brown sugar, and sugar. Mix until well combined.
  3. Next, add your egg, two egg yolks and vanilla extract. Stir until light and fluffy.
  4. Add your dry ingredients, which includes your spices, all purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir until just combined and add then your eggnog.
  5. Scoop your cookies out with a 1 to 2 tablespoon cookie scoop if you enter apart to prevent them from spreading into each other.
  6. Bake at 350°F for 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from up and use a round cookie cutter to scoot around your cookies so they are all the same size.
For Whipped Eggnog Topping:
  1. To make the eggnog whipped cream, add your eggnog, heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar into a bowl and use a milk frother to whip it up until thickened.
  2. Add a spoonful of your eggnog, whipped cream to each cookie and gently spread it out. Dust with nutmeg to finish them off.
  3. Serve, share and enjoy!!
