Ingredient Notes

Flour – I used trusty all-purpose flour. Sugar – We are using both granulated and packed brown sugar! Spices – Cinnamon and nutmeg is all we need to give us that warm Christmas feeling. Baking Soda – Don’t skip the baking soda, it’s what makes them nice and chewy! Salt – Salt is imperative to baking to balance the flavors, don’t skip it! Butter – I always use unsalted to control the sodium. Just make sure it’s melted! Eggs – I use large eggs whenever I’m baking. Eggs are going to help act as a binder to our cookie dough. Vanilla – Without vanilla, our cookies may taste a little flat.

Cinnamon Sugar

Sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg is all you need!
