INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 375 degrees
In a mixing bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, and spices. In a
separate bowl, cream together butter and brown sugar until fluffy; stir in
brandy.
Gradually beat dry ingredients into butter mixture, then form into a ball
and knead on a floured surface until smooth. Roll out to a thickness of 1/4
inch and cut with small cookie cutters, placing cutouts on a greased baking
sheet.
Bake cookies until crisp and golden brown, 10-12 minutes. Transfer to wire
rack to cool.
For the icing, sift confectioners' sugar into a mixing bowl. A little at a
time, stir in espresso with a fork. Rest bowl in a larger bowl of very hot
tap water and stir about 1 minutes, until icing is smooth and fluid. With a
small knife or a teaspoon, spread a thin glaze of icing over each cookie
and let set.
