The crispy-tender texture and mildly spicy flavor of these cookies will tempt all ages. My whole family enjoys them. Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened |
3/4 cup sugar |
1 egg |
2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
3 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1-1/2 teaspoons ground nutmeg |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
additional sugar |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. Combine the flour, nutmeg and salt; gradually add to the creamed mixture. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour or until firm.
2. On a sugared surface, shape 1/2 cupfuls of dough into 1/2-in.-thick logs. Cut logs into 2-to 2-1/2-in. pieces.
3. Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 350° for 12-14 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove to wire racks to cool. Yield: about 5 dozen.
