Mixing Up Memories

In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of ground nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Set this nostalgic mixture aside, and preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2

Butter Me Up

In a separate bowl, cream together 1 cup of unsalted butter (softened) and 1 1/2 cups of granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This may take a few minutes, but it's worth it for that creamy, dreamy texture!

3

Egg-citing Additions

One at a time, crack in 2 eggs (large) and beat well after each addition. Don't worry, this step will be over easy! Now, mix in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract for that extra special touch.

4

The Flourish of Flavor

Gradually add the dry mixture from Step 1 to the butter mixture from Step 2, mixing until just combined. You want to mix it up without overdoing it. This is where the nostalgic magic happens!

5

Getting Fancy

Roll the dough into tablespoon-sized balls and place them on a lined baking sheet. Then, gently press each ball down with a fork to create that classic crisscross pattern. It's like a fancy bakery right in your own kitchen!

6

Time to Bake

Pop the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are golden around the edges. Be sure to keep an eye on them, every oven is different!

7

The Sweet Finish

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once they're cooled down, it's time to indulge in a sweet taste of nostalgia!
