Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, approximately 1-2 minutes.
- Beat in the eggs, vanilla and almond extracts. Set aside.
- Sift together the flour, baking soda, salt, nutmeg and cinnamon.
- Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, being careful to blend until just mixed and not overmix.
- Turn out onto a large piece of plastic wrap, covering fully and flattening. Refrigerate for 4 hours to overnight.
- When ready to bake, preheat oven to 325°F and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Lightly flour a rolling mat or clean rolling surface, roll out a quarter of the dough to ¼ inch thickness. Cut using a 2 ½ inch round cookie cutter and transfer to baking sheet, placing them 1-2 inches apart. If you don't want to roll them, use a 1 1/2 tablespoon scoop to make round balls and push flat with the bottom of a glass.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes or until very lightly browned along the edges.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack.
- Continue with remaining dough.
- Serve plain, glaze or frost as desired.
