Caramel Nutmeg Cookies

So this was my first recipe I ever made, and I decided to make it styled off of the cupcakes I make from scratch every year for my dad. I used info from the cupcake recipe and snickerdoodle recipe I always use, and I think they came out really tasty! They make a great fall cookie.

----Cookies

1 cup butter

1 1/2 cup sugar

2 eggs

2 tsp vanilla extract

2 3/4 cup flour

1 1/2 tsp cream of tartar

1/2 tsp baking soda

1 tsp salt

2 tbsp ground nutmeg

----Sugar mixture

1/4 cup sugar

1 1/2 tbsp cinnamon

----Icing

1/2 cup brown sugar

3 tbsp cream or milk

1/4 cup butter

1 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Combine room temp butter and sugar in a large bowl until fluffy. Scrape sides and beat in the eggs and vanilla.

In a separate bowl combine the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg. Sift it into the egg and sugar mixture in 3 parts and mix until evenly mixed. Leave it in the fridge to chill for 30 min- to an hour.

Preheat over to 350 degrees.

Once chilled, roll the dough into balls about an inch thick. Roll them around in the sugar and cinnamon mix and place them on the pan after applying a thin layer of butter to the pan. Press thumb in the center of the dough balls flatter cookies. Bake for 10 minutes.

Mix brown sugar, milk, and butter in a medium sauce pan and bring to a boil for 2 minutes. Keep mixing it to prevent burning. After 2 mins, remove from heat and let it cool. Move it to a mixing bowl and add the powdered sugar in 3 parts and mix until fully combined. Mix in small amounts of milk while mixing until you have a spreadable consistency. Once done, spread over cookies and enjoy!
