Ingredients

• 2 1/2c flour
• 1t baking powder
• 1/2t cinnamon
• 1/2t nutmeg
• 1 1/4c sugar
• 3/4c butter, room temp
• 1 1/2c eggnog, divided
• 1t vanilla
• 2 egg yolks
• 1T nutmeg
• 1/2lb candied bacon, crumbled

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 300F and parchment up your cookie sheets. Combine flour, baking powder, cinnamon and nutmeg and set aside.
2. Cream together sugar and butter. Add 1/2c eggnog, vanilla and egg yolks and beat.
3. Add the dry ingredients and beat at low speed just until combined. Stir in candied bacon.
4. Roll into 1.5T balls and dunk in remaining 1c eggnog before placing on cookie sheet.
5. Sprinkle lightly with nutmeg. Bake for 23-25 minutes or until bottoms turn light brown. Transfer to cool, flat surface immediately with spatula.

I didn’t dunk the cookies in eggnog before I baked them, but I highly encourage you to take that additional step to give it that extra burst of eggnog-y flavor. These cookies were soft, tasty, and full of bacon and booze: a merry combo for a Merry Christmas. VIA
