  • Add the flour mixture, beating until combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 
    In a small bowl, mix togeher the sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  • Form the dough into approximately 1” dough balls and roll in cinnamon sugar mixture. Place on the prepared baking sheet, about 2” apart. 
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 8-9 minutes, until slightly golden on the edges and still soft in the middle.  Don’t overbake! These might still seem slightly underdone in the middle but they will set up.
