3. Beat in 1 of the eggs.
4. Add the 2 3/4 cups of flour, the allspice, salt and nutmeg and beat just until combined.
5. Divide the dough in half and flatten into disks, then wrap in plastic and refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours.
6. Liberally flour a large sheet of wax paper.
7. Transfer 1 of the disks of dough to the paper, dust with flour and cover with another sheet of wax paper.

14. Cut the dough into 1 1/2-inch-wide strips.
15. Using a ruler positioned on the diagonal, cut 1 1/2-inch-wide strips, to create diamonds.
16. Using a thin spatula, arrange the cookies 3/4 inch apart on the baking sheets.
17. Repeat with the second square of dough.
18. Gather all of the scraps into a disk and refrigerate until firm.
19. Roll out the dough 1/4 inch thick, then cut more diamonds.
