Nutmeg Sugar Cookies

This is Christmas time, and it has been since Halloween, but with Thanksgiving behind us I thought I should start off the Christmas cookie collection with my own Christmas cookie recipe.

Nutmeg is one of my favorite spices. I put it in my tea, my pies, and when I found the recipe this one is based on, I decided I needed to put it in my cookies. Then I saw that that recipe was supposed to be rolled out and cut, and decided not to.

When I was first trying this recipe, I forgot how much flour I put in. As it turns out, not as much as I needed. So I changed the amount of flour from the original recipe and called it mine.

RECIPE
- 1/2 cup softened butter
- 1/2 cup shortening
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 1/2 cups flour
- A small bowl, a spoon, and extra sugar

Mix the butter and shortening until they're combined. Add the sugar, nutmeg, baking soda, and salt. When it's all combined, add the sour cream, egg, and vanilla. Add the flour last.

Scoop out the cookie dough and roll each ball in the bowl of extra sugar.

Bake at 350* for 10 minutes, and then they should look like this:
