Cardamom Sugar Cookies
  1. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Beat in egg and vanilla. Combine the flour, cardamom, salt and nutmeg; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well.

  2. Divide dough in half. Shape each portion into a ball, then flatten into a disk. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.

  3. Roll each disk directly on parchment to ⅛-in. thickness. Cut with a floured 2-½-in. snowflake-shaped cookie cutter, leaving at least 2 in. between cookies. Remove trimmings; repeat with remaining dough, refrigerating dough as needed.

  4. Place parchment with cookies on baking sheets. Bake at 325° until edges are lightly browned, 12-15 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.

  5. In a small bowl, combine confectioners’ sugar and milk. Pipe over cookies and sprinkle with coarse sugar and/or glitter. Let dry completely.
