My husband loves the creamy richness of eggnog, so I add it to the dough and buttercream icing in these cookies. Top each one with a sprinkle of nutmeg. —Joan Sarge, Asheville, North Carolina

1
In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Beat in eggnog and vanilla. In another bowl, whisk flour, baking soda and nutmeg; gradually beat into creamed mixture.

2
Divide dough in half. Shape each into a disk, wrap and refrigerate 2 hours or until firm enough to roll.

Preheat oven to 375°. On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion of dough to 1/8-in. thickness. Cut with a floured 2-in. round cookie cutter. Place 1 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets.
4
Bake 5-7 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
