Step 1

Preheat the oven to 325ºF. LIne two large baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl using a handheld mixer beat the butter on high speed until creamy.  Add the icing sugar, cornstarch, flour, nutmeg, and cinnamon and turn the mixer onto low speed at first and then increase the speed to high and beat until mixture is fluffy and light in color.

Step 3

Roll the cookie dough into balls about 1-inch in diameter placing 12 cookies on each pan.  Bake the cookies one pan at a time for 24 minutes or until their undersides are lightly golden brown.

Step 4

Place the extra icing sugar in a small bowl and roll each cookie in the icing sugar to coat as soon as they come out of the oven being careful not to burn yourself or break the cookies.

Step 5

Let the cookies cool fully on a wire rack. Enjoy!
