Dead Bones (L'Ossa Morte) Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 pound confectioners' sugar
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 2 teaspoons ground cloves
• 3 eggs, lightly beaten

Directions

1. Sift together the confectioners' sugar, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and ground cloves in a large bowl.
2. Create a well in the center of the sifted dry ingredients. Pour the lightly beaten eggs into the well.
3. Using a fork, gently mix the eggs into the dry ingredients, gradually incorporating the flour mixture.
4. Once the eggs are mixed in, switch to using your hands to knead the dough until smooth and well-combined.
5. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
6. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
7. Using the bottom of a glass, gently flatten each dough ball to form a cookie shape.
8. Cover the baking sheet with a clean dish towel and let the dough rest overnight. The cookies will spread during this resting period.
9. Preheat your oven to 350F (175C) while the dough rests.
10. Once the dough has rested, place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 15 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown.
11. As soon as the cookies are done, remove them from the baking sheet immediately to prevent sticking.
12. Allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack before serving or storing.
