MOM'S NUTMEG SUGAR COOKIES



Mom's Nutmeg Sugar Cookies image

This recipe came from a website I found on the internet, but don't remember which one. I made a huge batch of these today and they turned out really good. I am giving them to friends and family for the most part since they contain sugar, eggs and butter, something I try not to eat. You can make the sour milk by putting 1 tbsp. of lemon juice into a cup of milk and let it sit for 5 mintues. I didn't include the chilling time for the dough in this recipe.

Time 40m

Yield 7 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup unsalted butter
2 cups sugar (I used raw cane)
2 eggs (organic please)
1 cup sour milk
5 1/2 cups flour (I used whole wheat pastry)
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons baking powder (non-aluminum please)
1 1/2 teaspoons nutmeg (fresh ground works best)
1/4 teaspoon sea salt

Steps:

  • Let the butter and eggs come to room temperature.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together in a standing mixer. You want a nice light yellow fluffy mixture. Add eggs and mix well after each egg.
  • In another bowl combine the dry ingredients. Add it to the butter/sugar/egg mixture alternating with the sour milk. Refrigerate the dough until its stiff.
  • I left mine over night but a couple of hours would probably be ok.
  • Roll the cookies out on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch. Cut out with decorative shapes.
  • Bake at 350'F for 10 minutes.
  • DO NOT OVER BAKE.
  • You can frost these once they are cool, or sprinkle them with sugar before you bake them.
  • This makes a lot of cookies, so share them with your friends and family.
  • Make sure the cookies are totally cooled before putting them in a tin.
  • Bon Appetit.

Tips:

  • Use cold butter: Cold butter is easier to grate and will help the cookies stay light and fluffy.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies at a high temperature: Baking the cookies at a high temperature will help them rise and brown quickly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before frosting: Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them so that the frosting doesn't melt.

Conclusion:

Nutmeg sugar cookies are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be decorated in many different ways. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect nutmeg sugar cookies that will be enjoyed by everyone.
