Ingredients
For the Dough
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter softened
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ⅓ cup brown sugar
- 1 egg
- ⅓ cup eggnog
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
For Rolling
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter until smooth, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add both sugars and continue beating on medium speed until smooth and creamy.
- Scrape down the sides of the bowl, add the egg, and beat just until combined. Add the eggnog and vanilla and beat on medium-high speed until light and fluffy.
- Add the flour mixture and beat on low just until combined, about 1 minute.
- Cover dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 5 days. Do not skip this step.
- Preheat oven to 375ºF and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray with cooking spray.
- In a small bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon.
- Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, form dough into 1-inch balls, roll in the cinnamon sugar, then place on the lined baking sheet, at least 2 inches apart. Bake for 8-9 minutes or until edges have set and the tops appear slightly undercooked. Cookies will firm up as they cool. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for at least 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.
- Cookies will stay fresh in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
