Preparation

Step 1

Heat oven to 400°.
Cover cookie sheets with parchment paper.
Combine “butter,” sugar, and extracts/flavorings in a large mixing bowl.
Stir in Ener-G powder and salt. Add half of the milk, stirring until well combined.
Add the other half of the milk and mix heartily until things are fluffy (a wooden spoon does the best job of this fluffy business.)
Fold in the sour cream.
Mix the cream of tartar and baking soda in, followed by the flour.
Mix 1/4 c. sugar and nutmeg in a cereal bowl.
Roll dough into balls (ping-pong-ball sized) and put into the nutmeg mixture.
Swirl the cereal bowl to cover each cookie completely with sugary nutmeg.
Place on cookie sheets and bake for 8-10 minutes.
Cool on racks.

Yields approximately 40 cookies.
