Nutmeg Noels
Easy Christmas cookies, my husband loves and made them himself tonight, I think because he was desperate! Seriously, we've been making these for years and they're always a hit. Light nutmeg taste, buttery soft cookies.
RECIPE
Ingredients
2 tbls red or green sugar sprinkles
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1 1/2 cups flour
3/4 cup sugar
1 tsp cream of tartar
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/8 tsp salt
1 egg
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup butter
Method
Preheat oven to 400. In small bowl combine colored sugar and 1/4 tsp nutmeg; set aside.
In large bowl combine flour, sugar, cream of tartar, baking soda, salt and remaining nutmeg (1/4 tsp); add butter, egg and vanilla. Beat at low speed until well mixed, approx. 3 minutes.
Roll rounded teaspoonfuls into 1" balls. Roll cookies into sugar/nutmeg mixture. Place on un-greased cookies sheets, about 2" apart. Bake 10-12 minutes or until centers are firm.
Enjoy,
Mary

I love love that your hubby made those delicious cookies! My hubby refuses to bake anything, he will cook and grill treats, but no baking. LOL! I adore nutmeg, and those cookies sound wonderful! Hugs, Terra
ReplyDeleteTerra, I love that he makes them too! Oh he's a big "grill master" but he made cookies as a child with his grandmother and loves to make them! It's a "win win" for me <3
