Nutmeg Dreamers

This was a cookie recipe that my husband found in the Wall Street Journal. Make sure to let them cool before touching. These were published as part of an article about getting better sleep. Apparently the nutmeg is supposed to help promote sleep.

2. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt 1 cup butter and cook until dark gold, about 5 minutes
3. Let cool slightly, about 3 minutes. 
4. In a food processor, combine sugar, vanilla extract, nutmeg, baking powder and flour
