Instructions    

Heat oven to 350°F. Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or foil.

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon.

Add grated unsalted butter and toss to coat with the dry ingredients.

Add Maola Eggnog and stir with a fork until clumps form. Use your hands to gently knead into a dough.

Press ⅔ of the dough evenly into the prepared pan.

In another bowl, beat all cheesecake filling ingredients with a hand mixer until light, smooth, and fluffy.

Pour filling over the cookie base. Crumble remaining dough evenly over the top.

Bake for 30 minutes, then cool completely at room temperature to prevent cracking.

Chill overnight. Add melting chocolates or desired toppings on top and serve.
