Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, and ground cinnamon.
Cut the butter into small pieces and add to the flour mixture. Use a pastry blender or your fingers to work the butter into the dry ingredients until it resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, eggnog, vanilla extract, and rum extract (if using).
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. If using white chocolate chips, fold them into the dough at this stage.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and divide it in half. Shape each half into a log approximately 9 inches long and 2 inches wide. Place the logs onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the logs are firm to the touch and lightly golden. Remove them from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes.
Using a sharp serrated knife, slice the logs diagonally into 1/2-inch thick slices. Arrange the slices cut-side down on the baking sheet.
Return the biscotti to the oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes. Flip the slices over and bake for another 10-12 minutes, or until dry and crisp. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
For the optional glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar and eggnog until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled biscotti and allow the glaze to set before serving.
