Buttermilk Cookies with Nutmeg and Sour Cream Frosting

These were like a glass of eggnog in a cookie. They make you all warm and cozy inside. So I guess maybe I am bringing you some comfort and joy!

A delicate tender cookie that would adapt to many flavors. I was thinking you could swap out cinnamon, cardamom, or even chai spice for the nutmeg. Or how about a vanilla cookie with a maple frosting? This could be a fantastic base recipe with many possibilities .

The teen said, “ YUM! It taste like a sugar cookie.”

The Hubby said, It’s like a sugar cookie on steroids.”

I said, “Please pass the cookies and milk!”
