- Beat sugar and butter together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla extract. Combine flour, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg; stir into creamed mixture.
- Knead dough for a few turns on a floured board until smooth.
- Cover and refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
