Over, Thanksgiving weekend, I intended to bake a traditional sugar cookie, but the recipe called for a teaspoon and a half of vanilla, and I only had a teaspoon of vanilla left in my pantry. I added cinnamon and nutmeg, to compensate for the reduced vanilla flavoring (and a teaspoon of milk, to balance the liquid). The resulting spiced sugar cookies were a big hit with my extended family - so much so that I did a reprise for Christmas.

How to Make Spiced Sugar Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- Sift the dry ingredients (except sugar) together in a small bowl and set aside.
- Using an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugar together in a large bowl, until fluffy.
- Add the egg, milk and vanilla extract to the butter/sugar mixture, and mix thoroughly.
- Gradually add the sifted dry ingredients, mixing thoroughly.
- Roll rounded teaspoonfuls of dough into balls, and roll the balls in granulated sugar. Place on lined cookie sheets, about 1 1/2 inches apart.
- Bake 10-12 minutes (depending on desired chewiness/crispiness).
