GRANDMA ABBEY'S CHRISTMAS COOKIES

Steps:

• Cream together butter and sugar in a large bowl. Add eggs and beat until light and fluffy. Combine the nutmeg, salt, baking soda, and baking powder in a small bowl. Stir in the buttermilk and add this mixture to the creamed ingredients. Gradually stir in the flour one cup at a time. If dough is still too sticky to roll, gradually add more flour until you can form the dough into a ball. Cover and chill dough for at least an hour.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Roll dough out to 1/4 inch thickness on a lightly floured surface. Cut into shapes and place on ungreased cookie sheet.
• Bake until no indentation remains when cookies are lightly touched, about 10 minutes. Cool cookies on rack.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 275˚F (135˚C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, salt, and baker's ammonia.
• In a separate medium bowl, cream together the butter and sugar with an electric hand mixer on low speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
• Add the vanilla and continue beating until fully combined.
• Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and beat to incorporate.
• Roll about 1 ounce of dough at a time in your hands to make walnut-sized balls. They will be small, about ½ inch (1 ¼ cm) wide. Place the balls of dough on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 1 inch (2 ½ cm) of space between each cookie. Using a flat-bottomed measuring cup, gently press down on the cookies to flatten.
• Top each cookie with 3 chocolate chips, a single almond, or raisins.
• Bake the cookies for 30 minutes, or until the bottoms are light golden brown and the edges are crispy.
• Enjoy!
