Eggnog Kringla Cookies
Cake-like cookies with hints of eggnog and nutmeg. I've been making these every year for Christmas since I was 12, and every year at least a few people ask for the recipe -- and continue to request them every Christmas. I've been told by lots of people that they don't want me to buy them a gift. They just want me to make these cookies for them. I love bringing these to cookie exchanges and/or giving them as gifts. I know the original recipe came out of a magazine, but I don't remember which one.

DIRECTIONS
- In a bowl combine flour, baking powder and soda, and nutmeg. Set aside.
- In a large bowl beat butter and sugar till fluffy. Add egg and beat well.
- To the butter/sugar/egg mixture, stir in half of egg nog. Then stir in half of flour mixture. Stir in remaining eggnog and then flour mixture. It will be very stiff.
- Cover and chill at least 2 hours.
- To make them quickly, drop them by small spoonfuls on a baking sheet. To make them in the traditional manner: Working with 1/3 of dough at time (keep the rest of the dough chilled), separate dough into 1-inch balls and roll between floured hands into a pencil-like shape, about as long as your hand. On a baking sheet loop one end over the other to form an oval with two ends overlapping (to look like the Christian fish).
- Bake at 350 for 8-12 minutes before edges brown. They won't look done, but they are.
- Sprinkle with nutmeg and powdered sugar.
