I'm "borrowing" another allrecipes recipe. Please don't sue me. Click for orignal allrecipes article. I love allrecipes because their recipes are usually pretty simple, basic and regular person friendly. Not a bunch of fancy ingredients nobody's ever heard of or can't find without a trip to an overpriced gourmet store. Nice.
Eggnog Cookies Ingredients
Flour: all-purpose flour. 2 1/4 cups.
Baking powder: leavener to help the cookies rise. 1 teaspoon.
Spices: nutmeg and cinnamon. 1 teaspoon nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon.
Sugar: white sugar. I'm assuming just plain ol' granulated though the recipe does not specify. 1 1/4 cups.
Butter: adds moisture and richness. 3/4 cups, softened.
Eggnog: store-bought eggnog or homemade. 1/2 cup.
Egg yolks: just the egg yolks for the moistest results. 2 yolks.
Vanilla Extract: enhances the overall flavor. 1 teaspoon.
Make and Bake
Beat the butter and sugar together. Add the remaining wet ingredients.
Gradually beat in the flour, baking powder, and spices.
Drop the dough on a prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle with nutmeg.
Bake in 300 degrees F (150 degrees C) preheated oven until the edges are golden.
How to Store Eggnog Cookies
Let the cookies cool, then transfer to an airtight container. Store at room temperature for up to four days.
Or Freeze Them
Yes, you can freeze eggnog cookies. Arrange the cooled cookies on a baking sheet, cover, and freeze for a few hours or up to overnight. When the cookies are frozen, transfer them to zip-top bags or another freezer-safe container. Freeze for up to one month. Thaw in the refrigerator.

They do not say what they consider a serving. How many cookies is that? One? The full nutritional data can be found in the original article linked in the first paragraph above.
Pro Tip
One reader commented their eggnog cookies were never done in the middle. Another reader responded that you should drop the batter by spoonfulls onto the cookie sheet and then chill because putting already melted/warm butter directly in the oven is never a good idea. I did not know that.
The eggnog is gonna have a lot of carbs and sugar, but this makes 6 dozen cookies, so I bet you could lower the carb count and get almost keto friendly by substituting Monk Fruit sweetener for the sugar and almond or another healthier flour for the all-purpose. Don't hold me to that. I'm no nutritionist or dietitian of any kind.
