INGREDIENTS

1 cup unsalted butter ; room temperature
1/2 cup golden brown sugar ; packed
1/2 cup sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 2/3 cups All purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

INSTRUCTIONS

Using electric mixer, beat butter and sugar in a large bowl until fluffy. Beat is the egg and vanilla. Sift the flour, baking powder, salt and nutmeg over; stir to mix well. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently 1 minute. Shape dough into 1/2 inch rectangle. Cut into four equal pieces; wrap i plastic and refrigerated at least 3 hours and up to one day. Let dough soften slightly at room temperature before rolling out.

Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 350 degrees. Line cookie sheet in parchment paper. Working with one dough piece at a time, roll out dough on lightly floured surface to 1/8 inc thickness, lifting and turning dough often and dusting surface very lightly with flour to prevent sticking. Using floured cookie cutters, cut out cookies. Pull away excess dough from around cookies. Transfer cookies to prepared baking sheet, spacing one inch apart (cookies will not spread). Gently preroll dough scraps, cut out more cookies. Transfer to same sheet.

Bake cookies until light brown, about 11 minutes (I did much less). Let cool five minutes on sheet. Transfer cookies to rack; cool. Repeat with remaining dough pieces, baking one sheet of cookies at a time.
