How to Make Easy Meals

Ingredients:

1 cup butter (or you can substitute ½ cup butter, ½ cup margarine)
1 cup sugar
3 eggs, beaten
2 teaspoons cinnamon
½ teaspoon nutmeg
3 ½ cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

In a large bowl beat the butter and sugar together.  When light and fluffy add the beaten eggs and beat until well blended.  Stir in 1 teaspoon of the cinnamon, all the nutmeg, flour and vanilla extract. Stir until mixed through.  Shape into a log shape and wrap with cling film.  Place in refrigerator for approximately 4 hours until chilled.

Preheat oven to 350F and grease two cookie sheets.

Unwrap the dough and place on a lightly floured surface.  Cut into ¼ inch slices and place an inch apart on cookie sheets.  Bake approximately 8 to 10 minutes or until golden and baked through.  Mix the remaining teaspoon of cinnamon and a little sugar and sprinkle over the cookies as soon as they come out of the oven.  Transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
