Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1¼ teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1½ teaspoon vanilla
- 1 egg (beaten)
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- ¼ cup milk
Directions
Thoroughly mix all the dry ingredients and the oil together in a large mixing bowl.
Beat all other ingredients together until they appear light and fluffy, then put them in the mixing bowl with the other mixture and stir them together. Set the mixture in the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours. If you can leave it overnight it will be easier to handle.
When you are ready to roll out the dough, divide the chilled mixture into four equal sections.
One section at a time, roll the dough out onto a generously floured cutting board until it is about 1/8 inch thick. Cut out crescent shapes with a cookie cutter or sharp knife and place the cutouts on an ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake at 400° F for 7-8 minutes. The cookies will be a bit stiff and will be starting to change to a very light golden color. Do not bake cookies until browned or they will become hard and brittle.
