1  cup
 earth balance (vegan butter), softened
1  cup 
sugar
1-1/2  tsp. 
baking powder
1/2  tsp. 
salt
1/4  tsp.
 ground nutmeg
1  
Flax egg (1 T ground flax + 3 T warm water)
2  Tbsp.
non-dairy milk
1  tsp.
vanilla
3  cups
all-purpose flour
*(other optional supplies: Granulated sugar; red and blue sprinkles, star-shaped cookie cutter, food coloring)

In large mixing bowl beat butter with electric mixer on medium to high-speed for 30 seconds. Add sugar, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg. Beat until combined, scraping sides of bowl occasionally. Beat in egg, milk, and vanilla until combined. Beat in as much flour as you can with the mixer. Stir in any remaining flour. Divide dough in halves. Wrap; refrigerate dough for 1 hour or until easy to handle.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. On a lightly floured surface, roll half the dough to 1/8 inch thickness. Refrigerate remaining dough until ready to roll. With a 3-inch star-shape cookie cutter, cut dough. Place 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Sprinkle with sugars.

Bake for 5 to 6 minutes or until edges are light brown. Transfer cookies to wire racks to cool. Makes about 4-1/2 dozen cookies.
