Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour $0.36
1 tsp baking powder $0.04
¼ tsp salt $0.02
¼ tsp nutmeg $0.02
1 cup granulated sugar $0.96
4 Tbsp butter room temperature, $0.40
2 large eggs $0.38
½ tsp vanilla extract or almond, $0.32
¼ lb. white chocolate optional for decorating, $1.00

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350ºF. In a large mixing bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg.
In a separate bowl, beat together the sugar, butter, eggs, and vanilla extract with a mixer until mostly smooth (a few small lumps of butter is okay).
Add the dry ingredients to the bowl of wet ingredients and stir together until it forms a ball of dough.
Divide the dough into two and shape each one into a flattened log about eight inches long and 2-3 inches wide. Place the logs on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Bake the logs for about 25 minutes, or until lightly golden on the edges and there are a few cracks in the top of the dough.
Carefully transfer the logs to a cutting board and use a finely serrated bread knife to slice them, on a diagonal, into ½-inch wide pieces.
Place the slices back onto the baking sheet, laying flat, and bake for another 5 minutes. Remove the baking sheet, flip them over, and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow them to cool completely before decorating with melted chocolate (if desired). Enjoy with a hot cup of coffee!
