Rich Ptack and his daughter Sarah received an honorable mention in 2013 for this recipe, which they created after years of baking together. The cookie has a warm nutmeg accent, and its flavor mimics the traditional holiday drink. These cookies bake at a lower temperature than most so that they do not dry out.Yield: About 30 cookies

Ingredients

21/4 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg, plus more for sprinkling
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
11/2 sticks (3/4 cup) butter, softened
11/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup store-bought eggnog
2 egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla

Directions

1. Heat the oven to 300 degrees. Combine the flour, baking powder, 1 teaspoon nutmeg and cinnamon in a bowl.
2. Cream the butter and sugar in a separate bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add eggnog, egg yolks and vanilla. Beat on medium speed until smooth. Add flour mixture; beat at low speed until just combined. You don't want to overmix.
3. Scoop up dough by heaping spoonfuls; roll into balls. Place the balls onto parchment-lined cookie sheets 1 inch apart. Sprinkle lightly with nutmeg. Bake until bottoms turn light brown, 20-23 minutes.
