Nutmeg Christmas Cookies image

Yum! These are a good alternative to your average Christmas cookie. The nutmeg mixed with eggnog is a great flavor combination. We rolled these out a bit thicker and the cookie was moist and chewy. The decorating possibilities are endless! All that's missing is a big glass of milk. Delish!

1 1/2 c sugar
2 eggs

Steps:

  • 4. It will be a little sticky but remember these are a rolled cookies so they will pick up the flour from your board.
  • 5. I do a little at a time. Lightly flour your board, roll to about 1/4" thick. Thicker if you like a softer cookie.

  • 7. Bake at 400 for 8-10 minutes; 2-4 more if you want a crispy cookie.
  • 8. Let cool.
