nutmeg christmas cookies
These cookies started out as a recipe that took 5 lbs of flour. I finally got it down to only 5 cups. They are soft and a complement for the milk that goes with them.

Yum! These are a good alternative to your average Christmas cookie. The nutmeg mixed with eggnog is a great flavor combination. We rolled these out a bit thicker and the cookie was moist and chewy. The decorating possibilities are endless! All that's missing is a big glass of milk. Delish!
