1 cup Butter or margarine softened
1 cup Sugar
1 cup Dark corn syrup
2 teaspoons Cinnamon
1 tablespoon Ground cloves
1/2 tablespoon Baking soda mixed with
1 tablespoon water
1 cup Flour can use 4 cups
Cream butter or margarine with sugar and corn syrup. Stir in cinnamon, cloves and baking soda mixture. Add flour a little at a time, mixing well after each addition until stiff dough forms. Cover dough and refrigerate until firm.
Heat oven to 400 degrees. Roll dough to 1/8-inch thickness on floured surface. Cut with cookie cutters into reindeer or desired shapes, or roll dough into logs about 1-inch in diameter and slice crosswise into 1-inch-thick rounds.
Bake on ungreased cookie sheets until lightly browned, about 8 to 10 minutes.
