Soft, chewy holiday snickerdoodles infused with eggnog, nutmeg, and a cozy cinnamon-sugar coating. These festive cookies taste like the holidays in every bite and stay wonderfully tender.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups (360 g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp cream of tartar
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 3/4 tsp baking soda
  • 3/4 tsp grated fresh nutmeg, divided
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups (300 g) granulated sugar, divided
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp rum extract (optional)
  • 1/2 cup eggnog
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Whisk together flour, cream of tartar, salt, baking soda, and 1/2 tsp nutmeg in a medium bowl.
  2. In a large bowl, beat softened butter and 1 cup sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg and rum extract and mix until combined.
  3. Add dry ingredients and mix on medium-low until almost combined. Pour in eggnog and beat until dough comes together. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  4. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  5. In a small bowl, combine cinnamon, remaining 1/4 cup sugar, and remaining 1/4 tsp nutmeg.
  6. Portion dough with a medium cookie scoop, roll into balls, then coat in the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Place 2 inches apart on baking sheets.
  7. Bake 8–10 minutes until puffed and edges are set. Cool on sheets for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Add a pinch of allspice for deeper holiday flavor.
  • Increase nutmeg for a stronger eggnog taste.
  • Drizzle with eggnog glaze or add a white chocolate chip inside each dough ball.
