1 c Butter; softened
1/4 c Powdered sugar
1 Egg yolk
1/2 ts Soda
2 tb Whiskey
3 c All-purpose flour (to 3-1/2)
Whole cloves
Powdered sugar
Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy; add egg yolk. Combine soda
and whiskey; add to creamed mixture. Add flour, 1 cup at a time; mix and
knead by hand, adding enough flour to make a soft dough.
Shape as desired into crescents or oblong balls. Insert a whole clove in
center of each cookie. Bake on ungreased cookie wheets at 350 degrees for
20 to 25 minutes. Dust generously with powdered sugar while cookies are
warm.
