    Recipe Introduction


    NOTE: During WWII, mothers baked these cookies to mail overseas because they could survive a 6-week journey, arriving moist and tasty. They became German only if captured enroute!

    List of Ingredients




    4 eggs
    2 ½ cup flour
    ½ teaspoon cloves
    1 cup chopped nuts
    1 lb. brown sugar
    1 teaspoon cinnamon
    Dash of salt
    1 cup powdered sugar
    ¼ cup water

    Recipe



    Beat eggs and sugar together until creamy. Sift flour, measure, and then sift again with spices into egg mixture. Add nuts. Mix well.
    Spread on greased 12 x 18 inch rimmed cookie pan. Bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes. Immediately spread powdered sugar/water glaze over top. Cool. Cut into 2 x 3 inch strips.
