  1. I cut out this recipe from the December 19,1978 Woman's Day Magazine. I seem to remember cutting the finished cookies on the diagonal, making triangle shapes. Whatever shape you cut them, they are delicious for all you nutmeg lovers.
     
  2. A dense, rich shortbread with intense nutmeg flavor and a glossy golden crust. These are definitely a keeper!

I am in my late 20s and live in Oklahoma. I am married with no children yet (apart from DH!). I'm fluent in Spanish, and would love to learn more languages. I enjoy cooking, but baking is more my forte.
