For extra fresh flavor, try using fresh grated whole nutmeg. Use a nutmeg grater or grinder.- Dough must be cold when shaping and baking or cookies won’t hold their shape.

Recipe Comments and Reviews Sort by: Reviews General Comments View All » Rating Very long, very tedious, but delicious result. The step about shaping the batter into balls can be bypassed, I think, if you want to save some time. And when I made them, I found slightly thinner ropes (still 6" long, but about the width of a pencil) were easier to twist. And listen to the recipe when it says DO NOT OVERBAKE. It may not look done, but that's because all the evidence is at the bottom of the cookie. I found even baking for 8 minutes burned my cookies. Overall, it's a delicious (some friends called it "savoury") cookie that people will like.
