Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
• In a bowl, combine all dry ingredients together.
• In a large bowl, cream together the sugar and butter until it resembles a grainy paste.
• Add eggnog, vanilla and egg yolks and beat at medium speed until smooth.
• Add the flour mixture and beat at low speed until blended. Do not overmix.
• Drop by teaspoons onto an ungreased baking sheet, 1 inch apart. Lightly sprinkle nutmeg over the unbaked cookies.
• Bake for approximately 20 minutes or until bottoms turn a light brown. Transfer from pans immediately to cool.

Steps:

• Line 2 baking sheets with parchment.
• Put the almonds and 1/2 cup of the confectioners' sugar in the bowl of a food processor and process until very finely ground, about 2 minutes. Add the butter and process until smooth, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Scrape the dough off the inside of the bowl if needed. Add the bourbon and rum and vanilla extracts and pulse until smooth. Add the flour and salt and pulse until the dough forms a ball.
• Roll mounded teaspoons of the dough into balls about 1 inch wide and place on the prepared baking sheets about 1 inch apart. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, position oven racks in the top and bottom thirds of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F.
• Bake, rotating the baking sheets from top to bottom and front to back halfway through, until the cookies are firm when gently pressed, completely dry and just beginning to crack at the top, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool the cookies on the sheets for 5 minutes; they will firm as they cool.
• Meanwhile, put the nutmeg and remaining 1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar in a pie plate or wide baking dish and mix well. Toss the warm cookies very gently in the sugar mixture until evenly coated; the cookies need to be warm for the first coating of sugar to stick. Cool the cookies on a wire rack completely, about 30 minutes, then toss again in the sugar mixture so they are very white. Sprinkle with additional grated nutmeg.
• Store the cookies in a little bit of extra confectioners' sugar in an airtight container for up to a week.

Steps:

• Prepare cookies: Sift flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt together in a bowl.
• Cream butter, white sugar, and brown sugar together in a separate bowl until fluffy. Add eggs, vanilla, and rum extract; mix until combined. Mix in eggnog. Mix in flour mixture, a little at a time, until fully incorporated; try not to overmix. Place dough in the refrigerator to cool for about 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Drop about 2 tablespoons of chilled dough for each cookie onto the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven just until the edges start to turn golden brown. Cool on the baking sheet for 3 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely, about 30 minutes.
• While the cookies are cooling, whisk powdered sugar and eggnog for glaze together. Add more or less eggnog until you get the desired consistency. Glaze the cooled cookies and sprinkle with cinnamon.
