Add egg and extracts; mix well.
Combine the flour, nutmeg and salt; gradually add to the creamed mixture.

Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets.
Bake at 350° for 11-14 minutes or until center is set and edges are lightly browned. Cool for 2 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks.
For frosting, in a bowl, combine the butter, confectioners' sugar, extracts and enough cream to achieve a spreading consistency. Frost cooled cookies.
Recommended wine: Sparkling Wine, Sparkling Rose
Antipasti works really well with Sparkling Wine and Sparkling rosé. If you're serving a selection of appetizers, you can't go wrong with these. Both are very food friendly and complement a variety of flavors. The Cupcake Vineyards Pinot Noir with a 4.2 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 17 dollars per bottle.
Cupcake Vineyards Pinot Noir
This wine has a lovely garnet hue and heady aromas of black cherries, ripe strawberries, red raspberries and a hint of spice with a creamy finish.
