Looking for a delicious cookie recipe to satisfy your sweet tooth and that is easy? These nutmeg sugar drop cookies are perfectly chewy and a tasty treat that's perfect for any occasion!
In a large mixing bowl add your room temperature butter and both sugars
1 cup Granulated sugar, 1 cup unsalted butter, ⅔ cup light brown sugar
With a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed, mix for about 3 minutes until the butter mixture is smooth and creamy
Now add your eggs, nutmeg and vanilla to the butter mixture and mix well (another minute).
2 eggs, 1 tablespoon vanilla extract, 1 ½ teaspoon Nutmeg
In a separate bowl add all of your dry ingredients and mix together.
2 ½ cups All Purpose Flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon kosher salt
Now add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until it comes together.
Scoop out your dough on to your baking sheets making sure they are spaced about 1 inch apart. I like to use a medium cookie scoop for this. You can also use ⅛ cup measuring cup. (Note: If you want to add festive sprinkles, go ahead and dip the top of the scooped dough into them then place the dough ball sprinkle side up on the pan.)
Bake in the oven for 12-14 minutes or until the outer edges of your cookies just begin to turn brown.
Remove from the oven when done and let cool for at least 30 minutes. Remember the cookies will look undercooked when you first take them out of the oven and that is normal. They will come together when they cool.
Store in an air tight container for up to one week.
