Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter softened
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 3 cups all purpose flour 375 g
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon eggnog flavoring optional

Topping

  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • Holiday nonpareil sprinkles

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the topping: sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and holiday sprinkles. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl or stand mixer, cream the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract and eggnog flavoring.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cream of tartar, salt, and baking soda.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix on low speed until a soft dough forms.
  • Scoop the dough into 1 tablespoon portions and roll into balls.
  • Roll the tops and sides of each dough ball in the cinnamon sugar topping.
  • Place on the baking sheet, leaving space for spreading. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the edges are set and the centers look slightly puffy.
  • Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.

Notes

  • For the most accurate results, spoon and level your flour or measure it on a food scale.
  • Good quality butter and real vanilla make a big difference.
  • This eggnog flavoring boosts the flavors of eggnog.
  • Bake until just set for the softest cookies.
