Ingredients:

• 2 cups of sweet butter
• ¾ cup of confectioners’ sugar

Directions:

1. Cream the butter until it’s a very light consistency.
2. Gradually beat in the sugar.
3. Beat in the egg yolk and the cooking brandy or cognac.
4. Gradually blend in the flour to make a soft dough.
5. With floured hands, shape the dough into 1 ½ inch balls, and center-stud each ball with 1 whole clove.
6. Place on baking sheets and bake in a 350 Degree oven for 15 minutes.
7. Cool slightly, and sift confectioners’ sugar over each piece of kourabiethes.

Important: be sure to remove the cloves prior to eating.
