I made a few substitutions, adding a bit of almond extract with the vanilla, and also using cocoa powder and allspice in place of nutmeg. The cookies turned out with a good taste, but if I made them again, I would probably use butter instead of shortening. The 7 or 8 minutes in the oven was not enough, I put them in a few extra minutes and they still weren't entirely cooked through.
