Step 1

When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.

Step 2

Add butter, sugar, and vanilla and rum extracts to a large bowl, and cream together with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.

Step 3

Add egg and eggnog and continue mixing until evenly combined. Add half of the flour, the baking soda, salt, and nutmeg, and mix until combined. Add remaining flour and mix until dough can be formed into a ball.

Step 4

On a floured work surface, roll dough out to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut cookies into shapes and transfer to baking sheet. Cover baking sheet and place in freezer until cookies are firm, about 25 minutes.

Step 5

Roll out scraps and remaining dough and repeat.

Step 6

Bake cookies in preheated oven until light golden brown, 12-15 minutes. Cool on baking sheet for five minutes before transferring to wire rack to cool completely.
