Eggnog Snickerdoodle Cookies

Prep Time: 10 minutes | Chill Time: 30 minutes | Cook Time: 11 minutes per batch | Total Time: 1 hour 2 minutes

Ingredients:

• For the cookie dough:

  1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature

  1/2 cup granulated sugar

  3 tbsp eggnog

  1 large egg, room temperature

  1 tsp vanilla extract

  1 and 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

  1 tsp cream of tartar

  1/2 tsp baking soda

  1/4 tsp salt

• For the sugar spice mixture:

  2 tbsp granulated sugar

  1/2 tbsp ground cinnamon

  1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

Instructions (yields 20 cookies):

• Add the butter and sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and beat until smooth and creamy.

• Add the eggnog, egg, and vanilla and beat until well combined.

• Add the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt, and mix until no streaks of flour remain.

• Cover the bowl and chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg and set aside.

• Once ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350°F and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper. Use a cookie scoop to scoop out dough portions, roll them into balls, and coat them evenly in the sugar-spice mix. Place the cookies about 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheets.

• Bake in the preheated oven for 10-11 minutes or until the cookies are just starting to brown around the edges.

• Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling. Repeat with the remaining dough.
