Luscious nutmeg log cookies made with only 5 ingredients! Flavorful and so easy to make, these cookies will be a hit on your holiday table! 
Saying today was a busy day would be an understatement. It started with a 13X9″ pan of chocolate caramel bars, followed by another one of chocolate marshmallow bars, blondies and chocolate bars. Once all the bars were done, my oven went on the ride of the year – 10 dozen of cookies. Still waiting for my last batch to bake.
All these after all the baking I’ve done for yesterday cookie exchange. Tuesday I’m invited to another one.
My house smells amazing! Chocolate, toasted marshmallows, eggnog, ginger, cloves, cinnamon and nutmeg.
The nutmeg smells comes from these nutmeg log cookies! Oh my! They are heavenly! They taste like Christmas! 
I’ve made 6 dozens of these cookies this year and plan on making them again for Christmas! We can not get enough of them!
Good thing I always have the ingredients on hand! Butter, sugar, egg, flour and nutmeg. That’s all you need! Plus there are so much easier to make then a yule log cake!
You see, there’s absolutely no excuse why you shouldn’t make these nutmeg log cookies too! You’ll love them!

It’s funny – I was just thinking of making these cookies when I saw your post, which means I was going to look up the recipe I’ve used from Pillsbury “Cookies, Cookies and More Cookies” Cookbook where they are called NUTMEG COOKIE LOGS. And I did look it up for comparison- they look alike, but . The recipe is essentially doubled, has less sugar and some additional flavoring.. They are great … and yes, I have been making them since 1982, the date on the book.
My first thought was they are easier than a yule log. So cute and they sounds delicious! Merry Christmas!
They are very similar to the “Nutmeg Cookie Log” cookies which were in the Pillsbury book “Cookies, Cookies & More Cookies” book, published in 1982. They’ve been favorites since then.
Hi Roxana — I wish I had found this nutmeg recipe before the holidays — but I could eat cookies everyday — don’t need a holiday for that. Looking forward to trying these – thanks for sharing!
