3/4 cup unsalted butter
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup light corn syrup
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (or 1/4 t. lemon oil, also optional) (optional)
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 large egg
2 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1/4 cup coarse sugar or 1/4 cup granulated sugar, for coating

1
Preheat oven to 375u00b0; lightly grease (or line with parchment) two baking sheets.
2
In a big bowl, beat the butter, sugar, brown sugar, corn syrup, vanilla, nutmeg (if using), baking powder, baking soda, salt, and egg together.
3
Stir in the flour.
4
Add coarse sugar to a shallow dish; drop the dough by the tablespoonful into the sugar, rolling the balls to coat them.
5
Place them on prepared cookie sheets.
6
Bake for 10 minutes, until the edges are just barely beginning to brown; they will look soft.
7
If you bake the cookies too long, they'll be crunchy, not chewy.
8
Remove from oven and cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a rack to cool completely.
