Yield 30

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 pound confectioners' sugar
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
2 ½ teaspoons ground cloves
3 eggs, lightly beaten

Steps:

  • Sift together the sugar, flour, baking powder, and cloves. Make a well in the sugar mixture, and pour the eggs into the well. Work the eggs into the mixture, first with a fork, then with your hands, until you have a smooth dough.
  • Line a baking sheet with foil. Roll dough into 1 inch balls and place on the prepared baking sheet, 2 inches apart. Flatten each cookie with the bottom of a glass. Cover with a clean dish towel and let rest overnight. Cookies will spread.
  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden, about 15 minutes. Remove cookies from pan immediately as they come out of the oven or they will stick. Cool completely on a wire rack.
