Categories: Desserts, Celebrity, Cookies, Greek
Yield: 24 Cookies
---------------------------LARRY LUTTROPP FVKC70A---------------------------
1 c Butter; soft
2 1/3 c Powdered sugar; sift
1 Egg yolk
2 tb Brandy, whiskey or ouzo
2 1/4 c Flour; sift
Whole cloves
Preheat oven to 350~. Using an electric mixer, beat butter and 1/3 cup
powdered sugar until fluffy. Add egg yolk and brandy; beat until thick as
mayonnaise. Gradually add flour, beating until smooth. Flour hands. Pinch
off small pieces of dough to form round balls 1 1/2 inches in diameter.
Arrange cookies well apart on ungreased cookie sheet; place a clove in
center of each. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes. On a sheet of waxed paper, pour
a thick bed of powdered sugar (about 1 cup). Using a spatula, gently
transfer hot cookies onto sugar as soon as they are removed from the oven.
Pour more sugar on tops and sides. Cool at least 4 hours before
transferring to a serving dish. Sprinkle with additional powdered sugar so
shortbread is completely covered.
