Spice-nut Refrigerator Cookies

Recipe file created November 16, 1999.
A not-too-sweet cookie. Ingredients

1 1/2 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup margarine, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon almond extract (or 2 teaspoon vanilla)
1/2 cup chopped nuts
Cream together margarine, sugars, egg and almond extract. Combine dry ingredients in a bowl. Gradually add flour mixture, mixing well between additions. Stir in nuts. Shape dough into a roll 2 inches in diameter. Wrap in waxed paper and refrigerate for at least one hour.

Heat oven to 375 F. Slice dough 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick and place on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 10 minutes or until golden brown.

NOTE:

The dough can be kept in the fridge for several weeks, or you can freeze it for later.
