1 lb. dark brown sugar
2-1/2 cups flour
1 t cinnamon
1/2 t. cloves
dash of salt
1 cup chopped walnuts
powdered sugar for glaze
Cream eggs and sugar. Sift flour with cinnamon, cloves, and salt into egg mixture. Mix well. Add walnuts. Spread on greased 12" x 18" cookie sheet (jelly roll pan). Bake at 375 for about 20 minutes or until just done. Remove from oven and immediately spread glaze over (1 cup powdered sugar with water). Allow to cool and then cut into bars.
This recipe was my dad's favorite cookie recipe. I can still remember him sneaking into these and mom saying, "Honey, keep out of there!" These cookies have a taste similar to a gingerbread cookie and have a really nice consistency. I would recommend these especially around the holiday season and much easier to make than gingerbread men.
