Now is the time to start thinking about what kind of cookies you'd like to make for the upcoming holiday season. I thought I would help you out with a posting of a cookie recipe every week until Christmas. This is an easy to make recipe but with great flavor. Hope you enjoy recipe #1.
Melt-away Nutmeg Cookies
1 cup butter, softened (do not use a substitution)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup ground almonds (about 3 ounces), toasted
1 cup confectioners sugar
1 tablespoon ground nutmeg
In a mixing bowl, cream butter, sugar and vanilla extract. Gradually add flour; mix well. Stir in almonds. Shape into 1-inch balls; place 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 300 degrees F for 18-20 minutes or until bottoms are lightly browned. Cool on wire racks.
Combine confectioners sugar and nutmeg. Gently roll cooled cookies in sugar mixture.
Yields about 5 dozen.
