Cream butter and brown sugar, then add egg. Beat until light and fluffy. Stir flour with spices and baking soda and nuts; add to creamed mixture; mix well. Cover and chill until firm enough to roll, about 2 hours. On lightly floured surface, roll dough into 1/8 inch thickness. Cut into shapes with cookie cutters. Place on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on rack.

I like to use cookie cutters in fall shapes like leaves, bears, acorns or pumpkins. Enjoy!
