Cool and beat in eggs, nuts, fruit and spices. stir in coffee for cookies with dark richer flavor or milk if you prefer milder golden-color cookies. sift flour with baking powder and stir gradually into mixture. Blend thoroughly. (dough can be baked now or you can allow it to age by place for 1 day to 1 week.) Spread dough about 1/2 inch thick on a lightly buttered and floured baking sheet. Bake in preheated 400 oven for 12 to 15 min., or until a deep golden brown. If you are using the glaze or stickers, add immediately, but cool cookies before covering with icing. Cut into rectangles when cool.
