Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
Step 2
Beat sugar and butter together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla extract. Combine flour, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg; stir into creamed mixture.
Step 3
Bake in the preheated oven until edges are golden, about 8 to 10 minutes.
Step 4
Knead dough for a few turns on a floured board until smooth.
Step 5
Cover and refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
Step 6
Cool on the cookie sheets briefly before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 7
On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to 1/4 inch in thickness. Cut into desired shapes with cookie cutters. Place cookies 1 1/2 inches apart onto cookie sheets.
