Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar, divided
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup eggnog
  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and 1 cup of the granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  2. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract and eggnog.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  5. In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1/2 cup granulated sugar with an additional 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon.
  6. Roll rounded tablespoons of dough into balls.
  7. Roll each dough ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  8. Place the dough balls about 2 inches apart on baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
  9. Bake in a preheated oven at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For an extra festive touch, you can add a pinch of ground cloves to the cinnamon-sugar coating.
  • Ensure your butter is truly softened, not melted, for the best cookie texture.
  • Do not overmix the dough once the flour is added.
