For the Cookies:

Preheat the oven to 350°F and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar for 1 minute until smooth.
Add the egg, vanilla, and rum extract, and mix until fluffy.
Gradually add the flour and nutmeg, mixing on low speed until combined.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough, roll into balls, and place on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the bottoms are slightly golden. Allow to cool completely before icing.

For the Glaze:

In a bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, vanilla, nutmeg, and 2 tablespoons of eggnog.
Add more eggnog, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach a smooth, slightly thick consistency.
Spoon the glaze over the cooled cookies and spread it slightly with a spoon.
