Tips & Tricks
To get an extra burst of spiciness from the nutmeg, you can add a few extra shakes of the spice. Just be careful not to add too much nutmeg, as the flavor can become overwhelming. For added sweetness, feel free to add some sugar or raisins to the mixture. You can also add a pinch of cinnamon or cloves to give the cookies an even deeper flavor. Enjoy!
