St. Nicholas Cookies

Happy St. Nicholas Day! Here's Janet's recipe for St. Nicholas cookies, which is different from the one in the red family cookbooks (i.e. no lard!). Enjoy --

Cream together:
1 lb butter
1 1/2 c sugar
1 1/2 c brown sugar
Add:
3 beaten eggs

Mix dry ingredients and add gradually to the above:
2 t ginger
2 t cinnamon
1 t allspice
1/2 t cloves
1 t salt
1 t baking soda
6 c flour

Form into 2 long logs (approximately the length of your cookie sheet), wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate til stiff. Slice into 1/4 inch slices, place whole almond or almond slice in the middle of each cookie, and bake at 350 for 11 minutes.
