1 1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs
1/3 cup eggnog
1 tsp vanilla
4 cups all purpose flour

Cream butter, sugar, and eggs until light and fluffy. Add eggnog and vanilla.

In another bowl mix flour, nutmeg and baking powder. Add flour mix to butter mix and blend well.

Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes so it's easier to handle.

Bake 7-10 minutes or until lightly golden brown.
