In a separate bowl sift together flour, salt and nutmeg. Blend flour mixture into sugar mixture. In a small cup, mix together buttermilk and baking soda. Add to dough and add vanilla and butter flavoring. Turn out onto floured surface. Roll dough to 1/4 inch and cut into circles (using the edge of a tea glass or biscuit cutter). Sprinkle tops with Turbinado sugar. On a lightly greased cookie sheet, bake at 400° for 10 - 15 minutes or until light brown. Do not over bake. I c e C r e a m A s s e m b l y Using your favorite, softened ice cream, add a scoop to form your sandwich. Press gently and take care not to break the cookies. G a r n i s h e s Roll edges in sprinkles, Mini M&Ms, crushed Oreo cookies, chopped nuts, or chopped peppermint patties. Wrap each in plastic wrap and freeze. T i m e -s a v i n g T i p s Use prepackaged cookies or slice and bake. Save even more time and buy ready-made ice cream sandwiches and just roll the edges in the garnishes!
