Cross Stitch Cookies

Ingredients

• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 egg
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
• 2 cups flour
• 1 cup quick-cooking oat

Directions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2. 2

   Cream together both sugars, butter and egg until fluffy.

3. 3

   Add vanilla and combine.

4. 4

   Add in salt, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and flour then blend until fully combined.

5. 5

   Lastly, add in the oats and roll by the heaping teaspoon-full and place on greased cookie sheet. Using a fork dipped in water, then white sugar, make a criss-cross pattern on top of each cookie (tines facing left or right, then tines facing up or down)- you don't need to press too hard!
