I am not much of a baking lover so the few I do make have to be pretty good. I also like a crisp cookie and these really fit the bill.
Ingredients:
1 cup butter or 1 cup margarine
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs
3 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons cinnamon
Directions:
1. Cream butter and sugar, add eggs and beat until fluffy.
2. Stir together flour, baking powder, soda, nutmeg and salt.
3. Blend into creamed mixture to form a stiff cookie dough.
4. Shape into balls the size of walnuts.
5. Mix 1/4 cup sugar with cinnamon in a small bowl.
6. Roll cookie balls in sugar mixture and place on greased baking sheets, 2 inches apart.
7. Flatten crisscross with a fork dipped in sugar mix.
8. Bake at 400 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes until light golden brown.
