Wet Ingredients

4 Tbsp butter, room temperature
2 large eggs
1/2 tsp vanilla or almond extract

Optional

1/4 lb. white chocolate (for decorating)

Instructions

1.
Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
2.
In a large mixing bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg.
3.
In a separate bowl, beat together the sugar, butter, eggs, and vanilla extract with a mixer until mostly smooth.
4.
Add the dry ingredients to the bowl of wet ingredients and stir together until it forms a ball of dough.
5.
Divide the dough into two and shape each one into a flattened log about eight inches long and 2-3 inches wide. Place the logs on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
6.
Bake the logs for about 25 minutes, or until lightly golden on the edges.
7.
Carefully transfer the logs to a cutting board and slice them, on a diagonal, into ½-inch wide pieces.
8.
Place the slices back onto the baking sheet, laying flat, and bake for another 5 minutes.
9.
Remove the baking sheet, flip them over, and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until golden brown.
10.
Remove from the oven and allow them to cool completely before decorating with melted chocolate.
