Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, nutmeg and cinnamon. Beat together butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar until pale and fluffy.
Add egg yolks one at a time, mixing until just combined. Add vanilla and rum extracts, and egg nog. Turn mixer to low speed and slowly add dry ingredients until combined.
