Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Eggnog Snickerdoodle Cookies.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a toasty 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
In a spacious mixing bowl, blend together white sugar, butter, shortening, eggs, rum extract, and brandy extract until the mixture is smooth and harmonious.
Step 3
Gradually incorporate all-purpose flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt, stirring gently until just combined—be careful not to overmix, as this can affect the texture of your cookies.
Step 4
In a separate small bowl, combine colored sugar with a sprinkle of ground nutmeg for a festive touch.
Step 5
Shape the dough into 1 1/4-inch balls, rolling each one in the colorful sugar and nutmeg blend.
Step 6
Arrange the coated balls on ungreased baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between them to allow for spreading.
Step 7
Slide the trays into your preheated oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, watching for the edges to turn golden and crisp.
Step 8
Once baked, let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for a minute before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Enjoy the delightful aroma that fills your kitchen as these treats come to life!.
