Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make these scrumptious treats:

  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (for rolling)
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon (for rolling)

Instructions

Here’s how you’ll bring these cookies to life:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt. Set this aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until creamy. Add the eggs, vanilla extract, and nutmeg, mixing well.
  4. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients until combined. Don’t overmix!
  5. In a small bowl, blend the powdered sugar and cinnamon. Roll the dough into balls (about 1 inch in diameter), then roll them in the sugar mixture until fully coated.
  6. Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spaced about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the bottoms are lightly golden. They might look a little soft, but that’s okay; they’ll firm up as they cool!
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Now you’ve got a batch of delightful Eggnog Snickerdoodles, perfect for any holiday gathering. Enjoy them with a hot cup of cocoa or share them with loved ones. Happy baking!
