Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2.75 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp cream of tartar
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 0.5 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1.25 cups sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 3 tbsp eggnog
  • 0.33 cup sugar for rolling
  • 1 tsp cinnamon for rolling

Method
 

  1. Whisk flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt.
  2. Cream butter and sugar, then beat in egg and eggnog.
  3. Stir in the dry ingredients until a soft dough forms.
  4. Mix the rolling sugar with cinnamon, then roll dough balls to coat.
  5. Bake at 350F for 10-11 minutes until puffed and just set; they finish firming as they cool.

Notes

Pull them while the centers still look slightly underbaked for that signature chew.
