I've heard these mentioned a couple of times. I know this should be on the recipe board but who checks that on December 24th?

What are these and how do you make them?

Eggnog Snickerdoodles

2 3/4 c. flour
1 1/2 c. sugar
1 c. butter
2 eggs
2 tsp cream of tartar
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp brandy extract
1/2 tsp rum extract
1/2 tsp nutmeg
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1/4 c. sugar
1 tsp nutmeg

Preheat oven to 400F. Combine all ingredients and beat on low for 3 minutes. Stir together sugar and nutmeg in a small bowl. Shape rounded teaspoonfuls of dough into 1" balls and roll in sugar mixture. Place 2" apart on a greased cookie sheet. (These do spread so be sure to place apart.) Bake for 8-10 minutes but not until brown, even on edges.

These don't really taste like eggnog IMO but they are a nice change to the typical snickerdoodles. They don't make a big impression but people keep going back for more!
