Directions:
One cup granulated sugar, one cup coffee A sugar, one-half cup butter, two level teaspoonfuls cinnamon, one-half level teaspoonful cloves, one-half small nutmeg; cream together carefully; add two well beaten eggs. Sift the flour, and begin with one pint, and two slightly heaping teaspoonfuls baking powder; add more flour as you beat. When thick enough to handle, take a small piece in the hand, make into a ball, and roll; then place in buttered pans. Bake light brown in a moderate oven.
