Greek Butter Cookies
These were really easy to make, and I love the clove on top (though you don't want to eat it.) If you don't have Cognac, you can use another kind of brandy.

From Donna Olson: Always the fastest to disappear from the assorted cookie platter. Very Easy to make too.

Cream together
1 cup butter
1/3 cup sugar

Add to butter/sugar mixture:
1 egg yolk
1T. Cognac (or brandy)
1 teasp. vanilla

Blend in:
2 cups flour

Mix well into dough ball. (It will be a little crumbly). Wrap in wax paper. Chill 1 hr.
Roll into small balls and place one whole clove on top. Bake 350 oven for 20-25 min. Cool. Roll in powdered sugar.
