1 cup packed brown sugar
4 large egg yolks, room temperature
2 tablespoons eggnog
1/2 teaspoon rum extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
EGGNOG FROSTING:

1-1/2 teaspoons rum extract
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

In a large bowl, beat the first five frosting ingredients until blended; beat in enough eggnog to reach desired consistency. Spread over cookies; sprinkle with additional nutmeg. Let stand until set. Store in airtight containers.
