Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup eggnog
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggnog, sugar, and melted butter until well combined.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until everything is fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg, and cinnamon.
