Ingredients

The following ingredients have 18 Servings
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Instruction

  • Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat to 425°F. Gently melt the butter in a saucepan or in the microwave and let it cool while you mix the dry ingredients.
  • Place the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a large bowl and whisk to combine; set aside. Whisk the eggs and cooled butter together, then whisk in the vanilla. Pour the egg mixture into the flour mixture and stir just until a soft dough forms.
  • Place the granulated sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a soup plate or shallow bow and whisk to combine. Form the dough into 1 1/2-inch balls, then roll each ball completely in the cinnamon sugar. Place 12 of them on an unlined, ungreased baking sheet and flatten slightly.
  • Bake until set, about 7 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and cool completely. Repeat baking the remaining dough, letting the baking sheet cool completely between batches.
