This is an old Sicilian recipe that is a family tradition. They need to sit overnight before baking.
Ingredients
- 1 pound confectioners' sugar
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 2 ½ teaspoons ground cloves
- 3 eggs, lightly beaten
Directions
Step 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.
Step 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.
Step 3
Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Step 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.
