Add the egg, eggnog, and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture, and beat until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, nutmeg, and salt.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix just until the flour is just mixed in. 6. Press the cookie dough into the prepared pan, spreading it out evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes (or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.)
