Ingredients: 3 cups sugar; 1 1/2 cups water; 1 cup butter or margarine; 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon; 1 1/2 teaspoons ground nutmeg; 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cloves; 1/2 teaspoon baking soda; 2 tablespoons warm water; 5 1/4 cups all-purpose flour; 1 teaspoon baking powder

Servings: persons

3 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups water
1 cup butter or margarine
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspoons ground nutmeg
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 tablespoons warm water
5 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder

1
Combine sugar, water, and butter in a large Dutch oven; bring to a boil. Remove from heat. Add cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves; stir well, and cool.
2
Dissolve soda in warm water. Add flour, baking powder, and dissolved soda to cooled spice mixture; mix well.
3
Shape dough into three 10- inch-long rolls; wrap in waxed paper, and refrigerate 8 days. Dough will be sticky.
4
Unwrap roll, and cut into 1/4- inch slices. Place cookies on lightly greased baking sheets. Bake at 350u00b0 for 12 minutes. Cool on wire racks.
5
Note: For a uniform cookie slice, use a piece of string wrapped around the cookie roll. Wrap the string around the bottom of the roll and criss-cross the ends at the top. Pull string away from roll to slice.
6
This results in a more uniform cookie slice which doesn't affect the shape of the remaining roll.
