My husband and I have been fortunate to spend a lot of time with our families over this holiday season, and we've been eating a lot of good food and drinking a lot of good wine. (See resolution above). These are one of my all-time favorite cookies, and my Mom makes them the best.
Ingredients:
2 2/3 c. flour
2 t. cream of tartar
1 t. baking soda
1/2 t. salt
1/4 t. nutmeg
1 c. (2 sticks) butter, slightly softened
1 3/4 c. sugar
2 large eggs
2 1/2 t. vanilla
1/4 c. sugar, combine with 1 1/2 t. ground cinnamon for topping
Preheat oven to 375 degrees, and coat baking sheet with cooking spray. In a large bowl, combine flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, salt and nutmeg. In another large bowl, combine butter and sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed. Add eggs and vanilla until well blended. Stir in the flour mixture and allow to stand about 10 mins., until dough is slightly firmed up.
Roll portions of dough into 1-inch balls and then roll them in the sugar/cinnamon mixture. Place on baking sheet and pat down the tops slightly. Bake for 8 mins. or until cookies are lightly browned around the edges. You can rotate the sheet half-way through for even browning. Once finished, allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 2 mins. before cooling them fully on a wire rack.
