Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) full-fat eggnog
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups (280g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • For the coating:
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, cream of tartar, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon.
  3. In a large bowl, beat softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add egg, eggnog, and vanilla extract; beat on low until just combined.
  5. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, mixing on low until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. In a small bowl, mix together coating ingredients: sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  7. Scoop dough into 1.5-tablespoon portions. Roll each ball in the cinnamon-nutmeg mixture until fully coated.
  8. Place coated dough balls 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are set and centers look slightly underdone.
  10. Let cookies cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For thicker, chewier cookies, chill shaped dough balls for 30 minutes before baking. Rotate baking sheets halfway through for even browning. Use room temperature ingredients for best results. Cookies stay fresh in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
