Grandma Abbey'S Christmas Cookies - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 cup butter, softened
    1 1/2 cups white sugar
    2 eggs
    1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/2 teaspoon baking soda
    2 teaspoons baking powder
    1 cup buttermilk
    3 cups all-purpose flour, or as needed
Preparation
    Cream together butter and sugar in a large bowl. Add eggs and beat until light and fluffy. Combine the nutmeg, salt, baking soda, and baking powder in a small bowl. Stir in the buttermilk and add this mixture to the creamed ingredients. Gradually stir in the flour one cup at a time. If dough is still too sticky to roll, gradually add more flour until you can form the dough into a ball. Cover and chill dough for at least an hour.
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Roll dough out to 1/4 inch thickness on a lightly floured surface. Cut into shapes and place on ungreased cookie sheet.
    Bake until no indentation remains when cookies are lightly touched, about 10 minutes. Cool cookies on rack.
