Vanilla Crunchies

Vanilla Crunchies

1 1/2 cups sifted flour
1/2 teaspoon soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
2/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup shortening
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 400 degrees (hot).  Sift flour, soda, baking powder, salt and nutmeg together.  Cream sugar and shortening until fluffy.  Beat in egg and vanilla.  Mix in sifted dry ingredients.  (Dough should be just stiff enough to handle.)  Shape into 1-inch balls and roll in granulated sugar.  Place 1-inch apart on ungreased cookie sheet.  Bake for 15 minutes or until edges are lightly browned.

Makes about 3 dozen cookies.
