Instructions

  1. 1 Combine milk, cinnamon, vanilla, and cloves in a medium pot over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring every so often, until spices become one with the milk, 3 to 5 minutes. Be sure to stir from the bottom of the pot so the milk doesn't burn.
  2. 2 Meanwhile, whisk egg yolks and cane sugar together in a large mixing bowl until pale yellow, thick, and smooth.
  3. 3 Remove milk mixture from the stove. Pour some of the hot milk into the egg yolk mixture, whisking quickly to avoid scrambling the eggs. Continue, pouring a little bit at a time and whisking, until all has been added.
  4. 4 Pour the mixture back into the pot and place over medium heat. Stir constantly with a spatula until eggnog thickens and becomes light beige in color, about 5 minutes; it should leave a slight film on the spatula. Remove from the heat.
  5. 5 Pour whipping cream and nutmeg into a pitcher. Pour eggnog mixture into the whipping cream and mix with the spatula to combine. Place in the refrigerator, 8 hours to overnight for best enjoyment. Stir before serving.

Pulse several times just until dough starts to hold together and cleans the sides of the bowl (do not overmix). Transfer dough to a work surface; divide in half. Form each dough half into a thick disk; wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 2 hours to overnight.
  4. 4 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line several baking sheets with parchment paper.
  5. 5 Sprinkle a work surface generously with sugar. Roll out 1 dough disk into an 8x16-inch rectangle; sprinkle dough generously with sugar. Fold dough over in thirds, letter-style. Repeat rolling, sugaring, and folding two more times. Roll out dough into a 4x14-inch rectangle, about ¼-inch thick. Repeat process with second dough disk.
  6. 6 Cut strips from short sides of dough rectangles about ½- to ¾-inch wide. Place strips onto the prepared baking sheets, twisting and slightly stretching strips or form into horseshoe shapes.
  7. 7 Bake in the preheated oven until lightly golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Cookies will puff up a bit to reveal delicate layers. Cool cookies on baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
