Ingredients
 
 

  • 140 g AP Flour
  • 72 g raw sugar can be granulated
  • 113 g unsalted butter
  • ¼ tsp. salt
  • tsp. nutmeg
  • ½ tsp. vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • In a mixing bowl, add but and sugar together and whip.
  • After creaming, add vanilla, salt and nutmeg, and continue to whip.
  • Lastly, whip in the flour. After the flour is mixed in, the cookie dough should be pliable to roll. Roll and press or stamp (optional) to your desired sized (we made 8 decent sized cookies)1-inch apart on a lined baking sheet, then place in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 325° F.
  • Bake for 25 minutes, or until the edge are brown, and the cookie is slightly firm to touch.
  • Remove from oven and cool.

Notes

If you want to be fancy, dip the cookies in chocolate at least half-way and add sprinkles, or after pressing to your desired shape, add Turbinado sugar on top.
