Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes).
Mix in the egg, vanilla extract, and Fireball whisky until well blended.
Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the cinnamon baking chips, if using.
In a small bowl, mix ¼ cup sugar with 1 teaspoon cinnamon for rolling.
Using about 1½ tablespoons of dough per cookie, roll each portion in the cinnamon-sugar mixture and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until the edges are set but centers are still soft.
Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For a holiday twist, add a pinch of clove or allspice.

You can substitute Fireball with apple juice or milk and a pinch of cinnamon for an alcohol-free version.

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.

To reheat, microwave cookies for 10 seconds for a fresh-from-the-oven texture.

Turn these into cookie bars by pressing the dough into a greased pan and baking for a few extra minutes.
