1 cup white sugar
1 egg
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
½ cup sour cream
2 tablespoons white sugar
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • In a large bowl beat butter or margarine until softened. Add 1 cup sugar and beat until fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla and beat well.
