Grandma Allred's Roll Cookies

This isn't our Grandma Allred but Great-Grandma Florence Allred. Apparently, Ancestry.com used to have a section on their website where you could set up a little family page and put all sorts of things on it. They closed it down at the end of September, so I couldn't see what other recipes people had put on. Mom's cousin, D'Ann Stoddard put this one on saying it was from a cook book GGma Allred had and gone through and highlighted and marked in. Apparently, this was marked "good".

Ingredients:
1/2 c. butter
1 c. sugar
1 egg
2 1/4 c. flour
1/2 t. salt
2 T. milk
1/4 t. nutmeg
1/2 t. vanilla

Directions:
Cream butter, add sugar gradually. Add beaten egg. Mix and sift dry ingredients and add alternatively(I think she meant alternating) with the milk. Add flavoring. Chill dough one hour. Roll part of the dough at a time to 1/8 of an inch in thickness. Cut with floured cookie cutter. Bake on greased baking sheet.

Bake 375 for 9 minutes (the book indicated 10-12 min, grandma changed the time).

This is your basic sugar cookie. I did like it because it was really quick to mix up and the nutmeg makes it a little different. However, I still think the ultimate sugar cookie recipe in Mom's Best Recipes is the best sugar cookie recipe around. That being said, I still managed to eat about 90 percent of the cookies (stress eating due to major lack of sleep and very difficult days with our lovely kiddos).
