Another recipe you should make in double batches … a plain Jane cookie that tastes really good.

• ½ cup butter
• 1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon cinnamon
• ½ teaspoon nutmeg
• 2 cups flour
• Chopped pecans if desired

Cream butter and sugar until fluffy; add egg and vanilla and mix well. Mix together dry ingredients; add to butter and mix well. Shape into rectangle-shaped tubes, wrap in wax paper and chill in refrigerator until dough is hard.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Slice dough into cookies, and bake at 375 degrees for 8-10 minutes.
