Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line your baking sheets with parchment paper.

  3. Cream together the butter and sugar in another bowl until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Incorporate the egg and vanilla into the creamed mixture, beating until smooth.
  5. Mix in the eggnog until fully combined.
  6. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.
  7. Using about 2 tablespoons of dough, roll into balls and roll in additional sugar.
  8. Place on baking sheets, spacing them a couple of inches apart.
  9. Bake for 9-11 minutes until edges turn golden brown. Let cool for 4-5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
