"Good butter cookies. The nutmeg absolutely makes this. Use whatever single spice you like, just so long as you like it, because the flavour really comes through. Would be fun (and tasty) to add dec..." See moreorations like those silver candy balls, jujubes, or some piped icing. Could probably use up to half brown sugar to change texture and taste."
