Preheat oven to 400°. Lightly grease baking sheets.
Cream together Shortening, sugar and eggs.
Sift together flour, soda and nutmeg.
Blend dry ingredients with milk and shortening-sugar mixture.
Roll dough out on lightly floured surface and cut into desired shapes. Sprinkle tops with a little sugar. Lift onto baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch space between cookies.
Bake 8-10 minutes until just lightly tanned around the edge. If you like them a little crisper, let them bake a minute or 2 more.
Remove to a rack or wax paper to cool.

Note from Mom- The sugar cookie recipe has been well used as you can see, but she didn't explain that she always rolled it out and cut the cookies. She sprinkled a little sugar on the tops, too. I'm always disappointed with bakery sugar cookies because they do drop cookies, not rolled.
