0.5 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1.5 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
0.5 teaspoon baking powder
0.5 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3 cups old-fashioned oats
0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened (for filling)
2 cups powdered sugar
3 to 4 tablespoons eggnog
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Beat in eggs and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

Notes
These cookies taste even better the next day once the flavors meld.
Make sure the cookies are fully cooled before adding filling to prevent melting.
For an extra touch, dust the finished pies with powdered sugar or holiday sprinkles.
