Ingredients

  • 2 stick butter
  • 1 ½ cups sugar
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 2 teaspoons rum flavoring or vanilla extract
  • 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon nutmeg preferably freshly grated

For rolling:

  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon nutmeg

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl, use an electric beater to mix the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg yolks and rum flavoring.
  • In a second bowl, combine the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Cover and chill 30 minutes.
  • Heat oven to 400F and line two baking sheets with a silpat or parchment paper. In a small bowl, combine the remaining sugar and nutmeg.
  • For teaspoon-sized portions of dough into balls; roll in the spiced sugar and place on the prepared baking sheets 2 inches apart. Bake 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are cracked and the top looks dry. Cool on a wire rack.
  • Repeat with remaining cookie dough.
