-
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

Grease cookie sheets or line with parchment paper.
-
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and 3/4 cup of the sugar until smooth and well blended.

Beat in the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract until the mixture is light and fluffy.
-
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, beating until just combined and thoroughly blended.
-
Stir in the chopped walnuts and raisins until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
-
In a shallow dish, mix the remaining 1/4 cup sugar with the cinnamon.
-
Roll small portions of dough between your palms to form 1-inch balls.
-
Roll each dough ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated.
-
Place the coated balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.

Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers remain soft.

Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
