1

Beat butter with sugar until fluffy. Beat in egg.

2

Stir flour with baking powder, nutmeg and salt in separate bowl; blend into butter mixture on medium speed until combined.

3

Divide dough in half; press each portion into a disk and wrap tightly with plastic wrap. Chill for 30 minutes.

4

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Roll out each disk on a lightly floured surface until about 1/4-in (5 mm) thick. Use an egg-shaped cutter to cut out cookies. Re-roll scraps.

5

Bake, on parchment-lined baking sheets, for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden on bottom. Cool on pan for 2 minutes; transfer to a rack to cool completely.

6

Spread a little melted chocolate over the bottom of a cookie; immediately, sandwich with another cookie bottom. Repeat with remaining cookies.

7

Decorate one side of sandwiched cookies with melted chocolate as preferred. Chill until set.

Tips

To melt chocolate chips, heat them in the microwave on MEDIUM (50%) for 1 to 2 minutes; stir until smooth.

Try using both milk and semi-sweet chocolate to decorate cookies for a pretty two-toned effect.
