Ingredients

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter

1 1/3 cups sugar, divided

1/2 cup dark brown sugar, packed

3 cups all-purpose flour

1 tsp. ground nutmeg, divided

1/2 tsp. baking soda

2 tsp. cream of tartar

1/2 tsp. salt

2 eggs at room temperature

1 tsp. vanilla extract

You can use just the sugar to make a simple syrup. Dissolve all the sugar berfoe bringing the mixture to a boil and make sure to have a pastry brush and water on the side and run it around the side of the saucepan to get rid of any sugar crystals but don't allow the brush to touch the syrup mixture. once all crystals have dissolved bring to boil for a bit then you have simple syrup.
