- Scoop out 2 tbsp and roll into a ball. Add cookie balls to a baking sheet, slicing each cookie about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from baking sheet and add to a cooling rack. Allow cookies to cool completely.
- Add heavy cream and sugar to a large bowl. Using a hand mixer, beat together until stiff peaks form. Then add in cinnamon, nutmeg, and egg nog and blend for another 5-10 seconds, until all ingredients are incorporated.
