Swedish Nutmeg Slices

Thanks to a certain world-traveling family…

Ingredients:

1 cup margarine or butter, softened
2/3 cup sugar
1 Tablespoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
2 cups flour

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit
Beat butter, sugar, and spices until light and fluffy
Add flour, kneading lightly. (Be careful, the dough is sensitive. Don’t hurt its feelings)
Divide into 4 pieces. Form each into a 16” log. Place on parchment-paper or greased baking sheets.
Press down lightly with a fork to make lines in the dough (Stripes can be not straight too…)
Bake on center oven rack for 20 minutes.
Cut each log into 10 diagonal pieces while still warm
