Ingredients

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

Instructions

1. 1 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.
2. 2 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.
3. 3 Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
4. 4 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.
