1 cup 250ml softened butter
1 cup 250ml lightly packed light brown sugar
1 egg
2 cups 500ml all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp 2ml baking powder
1/4 tsp pinch saltpinch fresh ground nutmeg(optional)

 3.Divide dough in half; press each portion into a disk and wrap tightly with plastic wrap. Chill for 30 minutes.
 4.Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Roll out each disk on a lightly floured surface until about 1/4-in (5 mm) thick. Use an egg-shaped cutter to cut out cookies. Re-roll scraps.
 5.Bake, on parchment-lined baking sheets, for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden on bottom. Cool on pan for 2 minutes; transfer to a rack to cool completely.
 6.Spread a little melted chocolate over the bottom of a cookie; immediately, sandwich with another cookie bottom. Repeat with remaining cookies.
7.Decorate one side of sandwiched cookies with melted chocolate as preferred. Chill until set.

Tip: Use both milk and semi sweet chocolate to decorate cookies for a pretty two-toned effect.
 Tip2: To melt chocolate chips, heat in the microwave on Medium for 1 to 2 minutes; stir until smooth.
