Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups white sugar
- ½ cup butter
- ½ cup shortening
- 2 eggs
- ½ teaspoon rum extract
- ½ teaspoon brandy extract
- 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup colored sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground nutmeg
Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Step 2
Beat sugar, butter, shortening, eggs, rum extract, and brandy extract together in a large bowl until smooth. Stir in flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt; mix until dough is just combined.
Step 3
Mix colored sugar and nutmeg together in a small bowl.
Step 4
Roll dough into 1 1/4-inch balls; coat with colored sugar mixture and place 2 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheets.

Shortening and butter combination is strongly recommended to help cookies maintain rise.
