Preheat Oven: Begin by setting your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures your cookies will bake evenly and turn out perfectly golden brown.

Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, cream the softened unsalted butter with both granulated and light brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy—about 2-3 minutes of mixing will do the trick!

Incorporate Eggs and Vanilla: Beat the eggs in one at a time, then add the vanilla extract. Mix until everything is smooth and well combined.

Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and ground nutmeg. Gradually combine these dry ingredients with the wet mixture, mixing just until blended.

Scoop and Bake: Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop dollops of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, ensuring they’re spaced about two inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges turn golden but the centers remain soft.

Drizzle Glaze: Allow the cookies to cool for a few minutes, then prepare the glaze by mixing powdered sugar with a splash of milk or water. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cookies.
