[edit] Description

[edit] Ingredients

• 2 cups brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 1 Tbs. hot water
• 1 cup chopped nuts (walnuts, hazelnuts or almonds)
• 2 tsp. ground cinnamon
• 1 tsp. ground nutmeg
• 3 cups sifted all-purpose flour.
• 1 cup powdered sugar (for rolling cookies in)

[edit] Directions

Mix the Sugar with the well-beaten eggs. Add the soda dissolved in hot water, the nuts and sift in the spices with the flour. Add more flour if needed to make a dough stiff enough to roll. Roll out until the dough is about 1/8 inch thick. Cut into tiny rounds about as large as a quarter of a dollar and bake in oven at 400° F until golden brown. Take out and roll at once in powdered sugar.

NOTES: Grind nuts fine.
