Alpo - Yes this is a cookie! (a.k.a Beer Nuts)

[queenofthehivemomof5]

We also call them Beer Nuts...

4 Cups Brown Sugar
4 Eggs
1 Cup Shortening
2 tsp. ground cloves
2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 tsp. nutmeg
2 cups finely chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)
2 to 4 tbsp hot water*
2 tsp. baking soda
7 cups flour

* Dough must be dry. If you use too much water, it will be too sticky to work with

Mix all ingredients in a bowl with a mixer...just dump and mix.

Roll out dough to the size of a pencil and chop into 1/2 inch pieces.

Bake at 350 degrees for aproximately 5-6 minutes. (Cookies should be barely brown)

Store in closed jar or container.
