For those who hate eggnog: never fear, it's just the nutmeg that gives these cookies their eggnog-y flavor. They really are quite tasty.
Makes approx. 3 dozen
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup shortening
1 3/4 cup sugar (set aside 1/4 cup)
2 eggs
2 3/4 cup flour
2 tsp cream of tartar
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
2 tsp nutneg
Cream butter, shortening, and 1 1/2 cups sugar. Beat in eggs. Combine flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt. Gradually add to creamed mixture. In a shallow bowl, combine the nutmeg and remaining sugar. Roll dough into 1 inch balls. Roll in sugar mixture. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 400* for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned.
