In a large bowl, mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt; gradually stir in liquid mixture and continue until well mixed. 4. Cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate 30 min.-1 hr. for easier handling. 5. Heat oven to 375°F. 6. Shape dough into walnut-sized balls and place on ungreased cookie sheet. Press cookie ball with the bottom of a glass to flatten. Cookies will be about 1 1/2-in. in diameter and about 1/4-in. thick and do not spread much when baking. 7. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until lightly brown. * FYI: This cookie is the hard, crunchy type cookie that is good for dipping in milk, coffee, etc., not the "chewy" type. Nutritional information:
