Spice Nuts

Take two eggs, one cupful of granulated sugar, one-fourth cupful of almond meats, one-fourth cupful of citron, one-half teaspoonful each of cinnamon, allspice and cloves, one cupful of flour, and one teaspoonful of baking-powder. Cut the nuts and citron up very fine. Sift the flour and baking-powder together and mix with the nuts, fruit and spices. Beat up the eggs and sugar until light and thick, then gradually add the flour mixture. The dough should be stiff enough so that it can be formed into little balls about the size of a hickory-nut. If too stiff add a little water, if not stiff enough add a little more flour to make it of the right consistency. Drop on buttered tins about an inch apart and bake in the oven until a light brown.
