- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar granulated
- ½ cup brown sugar packed
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup butter unsalted, melted
- 3 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugars, nutmeg, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt until well combined. In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla. Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients, and use a spatula to mix the dough thoroughly.
Make Cookies: In a shallow bowl, mix together the sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Scoop about two tablespoons worth of cookie dough into your hands and roll until a 1 - 1 1/2" ball forms. Roll the dough ball through the cinnamon sugar until it is well coated. Place the ball onto the prepared baking sheets.
Bake & Cool: Transfer the baking sheets to the oven and bake for 7-8 minutes. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before moving them to a wire rack to finish cooling completely.
- Do NOT over-bake. You may think they are not done baking after the 7 minutes, but as they rest on the baking sheet for the additional 5 minutes they will continue to bake and they will be perfect.
- Use an cookie scoop to get perfectly uniform cookies.
- Never grease your baking sheets! Line them with parchment paper or silpat, that way your cookies stay put and there's no extra mess to clean up later!
- STORAGE: Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- You can freeze leftover cookies in an airtight container or bag for up to 6 weeks.
