      1 c  Butter; soft
  2-1/3 c  Powdered sugar; sift
      1    Egg yolk
      2 tb Brandy, whiskey or ouzo
  2-1/4 c  Flour; sift
           Whole cloves
 
  Preheat oven to 350°. Using an electric mixer, beat butter and 1/3 cup
  powdered sugar until fluffy. Add egg yolk and brandy; beat until thick as
  mayonnaise. Gradually add flour, beating until smooth. Flour hands. Pinch
  off small pieces of dough to form round balls 1 1/2 inches in diameter.
  Arrange cookies well apart on ungreased cookie sheet; place a clove in
  center of each. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes. On a sheet of waxed paper, pour
  a thick bed of powdered sugar (about 1 cup). Using a spatula, gently
  transfer hot cookies onto sugar as soon as they are removed from the oven.
  Pour more sugar on tops and sides. Cool at least 4 hours before
  transferring to a serving dish. Sprinkle with additional powdered sugar so
  shortbread is completely covered.
