If you like the flavor of cloves you will loves these I did find that they really spread when baking I’m going to try 1/2 cup more flour next time wondering if baking powder or baking soda would also help
I am going to try these. I had a recipe years ago for a clove cookie that involved heating something on top of the stove. The cookies were wonderful, and my husband loved them, but the recipe has gone a-missing. So I will try these this year and see how they go over.
