Cinnamon Nutmeg Shortbread
This spicy cookie is a fragrant spin on the Scottish staple,
shortbread. Shortbread gets its name from the fact that these
cookies are very "short" or rich in butter. They
use no eggs so are very useful when you find yourself needing
a dessert or snack and have no eggs. These cookies are very
tasty and freeze well.
1 cup unsalted softened butter
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 cups flour
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and grease a 9X13 inch pan.
In a large bowl cream the butter and sugars together until
light. Mix in the vanilla. In a small bowl mix together the
flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Slowly blend the flour
mixture into the butter mixture until well mixed. Press the
dough evenly into the prepared pan. Using a fork or knife,
press decorations into the dough if desired. Bake for 17-22
minutes, or until golden brown around the edges. Let cool
completely, then cut into desired shapes. Store in an airtight
container or freeze.
