Como fazer Shrewsbury Cakes

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Use an electric mixer for best results.
Stir in the rosewater until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, nutmeg, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead in just enough additional flour to form a soft, smooth dough that is no longer sticky.
Roll out the dough to 1/2 inch thickness. Use cookie cutters or a glass to cut out large round cookies.
Carefully place the cookies onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are just barely beginning to color. The centers should remain pale and soft. Do not overbake!
Let the Shrewsbury Cakes cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
