Combine flour,
baking powder, cream of tartar and nutmeg in medium bowl and set aside.
Cream room temperature
cream cheese and butter on medium speed until well blended. Beat in granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, eggnog and extracts and beat about I
minute until well mixed.
Add dry ingredients
slowly on low speed, mixing just until blended.
Do not overmix.
Scoop by
large rounded tablespoonfuls onto parchment paper lined sheets.
Bake at 350
degrees for 11-13 minutes just until dry to touch. Do not brown or overbake. Cookies will
be soft and cheesecake like in texture and taste.
Dust well
with powdered sugar and sprinkle a touch of nutmeg on top of each cookie.
These cookies are very soft and the center tastes just like
an eggnog cheesecake.,
not too sweet and with just a light hint of spice.
These are best enjoyed right after they are baked.
They are not good keepers as they tend to get too soft and sticky
at room temperature.
Store in refrigerator if you have any left.
The inspiration for these cookies came from this recipe:

I have tried the original recipe and the chocolate versions
and they are yummy.

Update: I am home!
These cookie were baked early and my post scheduled over two weeks ago.
We had a wonderful time visiting our daughter and her family in Texas
for a deep fried turkey dinner for Thanksgiving.
It was delicious!
My daughter then set up her Christmas tree for an early
"Grammy/Grampy Christmas."
"Grammy/Grampy Christmas."
Our Grand-darling is four now and getting very tall.
It is always wonderful to see Christmas through the eyes of a child.
I am missing her already, but it is good to be home.
This is my favorite blog hop and I have a lot of catching up to do
with all the festive quilts and yummy goodies.
Enjoy!
