Ingredients

		---	Cookies
1/2	cup	lard	(no substitution!)
1/4	cup	sugar
2	tablespoons	sherry	sweet
2	tablespoons	orange juice	fresh
1	each	egg yolk
3/4	cup	flour, all-purpose
		---	Coating
1/2	cup	sugar
1/2	teaspoon	cinnamon	ground
1/4	teaspoon	cloves	ground

Directions

Position a rack in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat the oven to 350F.

In a mixer, whip the lard until it is light and creamy.

Beat in the sugar, sherry, and orange juice.

Beat in the egg yolk and then the flour.

Roll the dough out between layers of waxed paper to a thickness of 1/2-inch.

Cut out cookies in whatever shapes you wish, transferring them to ungreased baking sheets.

Bake them 12 to 15 minutes, exchanging the position of the sheets on the racks from top to bottom and from front to back at the halfway point, until the cookies are crisp and lightly colored.

For the coating, mix the sugar, cinnamon, and cloves in a wide shallow dish (like a pie plate).

Carefully dredge the cookies in the spiced sugar while they are warm.

Cool completely on a rack. Store at room temperature in airtight tins.

Cherry Nut Dump Cake

This is one of my favorite dessert recipes because it is delicious and so easy to make. It comes in handy (like today when I needed to bake a dessert quickly) When you are in a real hurry. The ingredients are always in my cupboard so I never have to worry about dessert!
