Thank you for a wonderful cookie. Tasted great and would make a wonderful addition to my Christmas Cookie Tins. I did have troubles when using the parchment, the cookies really stuck to the paper, so I just put them right on the cookie pan and they were fine. A keeper thanks Cookieswap.

This recipe is so yummy! I love the distinct cinnamon and nutmeg flavors. The dough was a little difficult to roll because it gets crumbly but you just have to pack well in your hands. I will surely make this again. Thanks for sharing this great recipe!
