  3. Add in egg yolks, vanilla, rum extract, and eggnog. Mix well.
  4. With the mixer turned off, add flour, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Slowly mix on low and then medium until a soft dough forms and mixed well.

  7. Let cookies cool completely on a cooling rack before frosting.
  8. To make the frosting, cream together butter, eggnog and rum extract until fluffy. Slowly add in powdered sugar while mixing on low. Turn speed to medium and beat until smooth and creamy.
