Method
Cream together butter, sugar, and 5 eggs.
Sift cake flour, baking powder, ground nutmeg, and salt together.
Mix sifted ingredients into the butter mixture to form a fairly soft dough.
Cover and let it rest for half an hour.
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
Lightly grease baking sheets or line them with non-stick parchment paper.
Roll out the dough thinly on a floured surface.
Use a cookie cutter to press circles, approximately 4-5 cm in diameter.
Place the dough circles slightly apart on the baking sheets.
Mix the beaten egg and milk, and lightly brush it over the cookies.
Sprinkle a bit of sugar in the center of each cookie for decoration.
Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes or until they are golden brown.
Remove from the oven, let them cool slightly, and then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store in an airtight container.
Enjoy your traditional sweet cookies!
