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.
