Okay, first melt 1.5 cups of butter, and mix it with 1.25 cups of sugar. I should probably use a little less sugar next time? Maybe not less butter, I think that it's good for the consistency. Mix in two eggs, and then add in a teaspoon of vanilla extract.
Mix together three cups of flour, half a teaspoon of baking soda, half a teaspoon of salt, and like a quarter of nutmeg. The nutmeg smells like it really makes it. Mix that one together with the other mixture.
I think next time I'm supposed to get the dough into their ready-to-bake shapes (that is, once I'm done with all the mixing, get the baking tray ready), and then stick them in the fridge for a while until they're nice and hard. When they're hard stick them in the oven (at 325f) for a little bit.
They came out like cookies when I improvised with the cooling and all that. Still fine.
This time I tried some fruity additions. One batch got a few figs cut and crushed up, the other got a little container of raspberries and a lemon squeezed up. The figs give things a very subtle tint and are pleasant. The raspberry lemon mixture is also nice, and dyes the cookies a wonderful pale purple.
