Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter softened
  • 2 1/3 cups sugar divided
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla or rum extract
  • 1 cup eggnog
  • 4 1/2 cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a large bowl, cream together the butter and 2 cups sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla.
  • In a large bowl, sift together the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt.
  • Add the flour mixture to the creamed mixture, alternately with the eggnog. The dough will be thick and slightly sticky.
  • Mix together 1/3 cup sugar and 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg in a small bowl.
  • Shape the dough into rounded tablespoons; roll in sugar and nutmeg mixture. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until cookies are just set and starting to crack.
