Nutmeg Maple Leaf Cutouts are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for any autumn occasion. These cookies are made with a combination of nutmeg and maple syrup, which gives them a warm and comforting flavor that is sure to please.

To make these Nutmeg Maple Leaf Cutouts, you will need the following ingredients:

- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg. In a separate large bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the maple syrup, egg, and vanilla extract, and beat until well combined. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a disk. Wrap each disk in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disk of dough to 1/4-inch thickness. Use a maple leaf cookie cutter to cut out shapes, and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough.
Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
These Nutmeg Maple Leaf Cutouts are a perfect fall treat that are sure to impress your guests. They have a warm and comforting flavor that is perfect for chilly autumn days. The cookies are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, with a subtle nutmeg flavor that is complemented by the sweetness of the maple syrup.
