  • 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.

  • Mix colored sugar and nutmeg together in a small bowl.

  • Roll dough into 1 1/4-inch balls; coat with colored sugar mixture and place 2 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheets.

  • Bake in the preheated oven until edges are beginning to crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

Cook's Notes:

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

You can substitute the rum and brandy extracts with vanilla extract, and the nutmeg with cinnamon, if you prefer a more classic version of this recipe.

The amount of flour is critical in this recipe. I recommend measuring flour by weight (379 grams) instead of by volume.

I find that 10 minutes 30 seconds is the best amount of time for baking.
