Cookie Preparation
  1. Preheat Oven: Start by setting your oven to 350°F (175°C). Don’t forget to line your baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground nutmeg, and a pinch of salt.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In another bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.
  4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Gradually incorporate the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract into the butter mixture.
  5. Combine Mixtures: Carefully fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing gently until just combined.
  6. Bake: Scoop spoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are slightly golden. Let cool slightly and dust with powdered sugar.

Notes

Allow the cookies to cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar for a beautiful finish. Serve warm with eggnog for a delightful pairing.
