Makes a tray's worth of cookies.

Ingredients

• 1 pound butter, melted
• 1 egg yolk
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 5 cups flour
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 tablespoon orange juice
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• Optional powdered sugar
• Optional Cloves

Procedure

1. Make sure the butter is cool enough to not cook the egg yolk, then whip the butter, add the yolk, and whip once more.
2. In a bowl, mix together the baking powder, flour, and sugar.
3. Add the butter mix, orange juice, and vanilla into the dry bowl, and mix together. Careful not to mix too much! you want it just until they're combined.
4. Form the dough into small diamonds on a cookie sheet. If you're feeling fancy, add a clove to the top of each cookie.
5. Bake at 350 degrees for about 25 minutes, then remove, dust with powdered sugar, and serve!
