Makes 4-5 dozen. May be doubled.

1 c. butter
1 1/2 c. sugar
3 eggs
3 c. flour
3 tsp. baking powder
1 tbsp. milk
2 tsp. vanilla
Sprinkle of nutmeg
Sprinkle of cinnamon

Cream butter and sugar; add eggs and beat well. Add sifted ingredients, then milk and vanilla. Chill overnight. Roll thin on floured pastry sheet. Bake at 400 degrees for 6-8 minutes. (Watch closely, remove just before edges tan. I always add 1/2-3/4 cup flour before chilling).
