~ Nutmeg Sugar Cookies ~
1/2 cup butter or margarine, room temperature
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup salad oil
1 large egg
1/2 t vanilla
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 t baking soda
1/2 t ground nutmeg
1/4 t salt
Preheat oven to 350F.
In a large bowl, with a mixer on medium speed, beat 1/2 cup
butter, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar until smooth.
Add oil, egg, and vanilla and beat until well blended. In
a medium bowl, mix 2 cups flour, baking soda, nutmeg, and
salt. Stir into butter mixture, then beat until well blended.
Cover bowl with plastic wrap and freeze until dough is firm,
about 1 hour. Shape dough into 1 inch balls and place about
2 inches apart on buttered 12x15 inch baking sheets. Press
each cookie with the lightly floured tines of a fork to flatten
slightly. Bake until edges are lightly browned, 8 - 10 minutes;
if baking two sheets at once in one oven, switch their positions
halfway through baking. Let cookies cool on sheets for 5 minutes,
then use a wide spatula to transfer to racks to cool completely.
Makes 3 dozen cookies
