Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ground nutmeg, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture, mixing until fully incorporated.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
- Using a teaspoon, scoop dollops of the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes, keeping an eye on them to ensure the edges are golden brown while the centers remain soft.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them.
- Prepare the topping by combining powdered sugar with a pinch of nutmeg, and sprinkle it generously over the cookies once cooled.
