spiced sugar cookies


Chewy, faintly spiced and not too sweet:

1 1/2 c sugar
2 1/2 c flour
1 c butter (room temp)
3 egg yolks
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp cream of tartar
1 tsp baking soda

In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar, then add vanilla and egg yolks 1 at a time. In a separate bowl, mix all other ingredients. Gradually stir dry ingredients into wet mixture. Form dough into small round balls and bake on parchment lined cookie sheet at 350 degrees F. until cookies are browned around the edges, 10-15 mins. or so.
