Randy's notes:
The amount of flour I used was based on Judy's post about scooping the flour.
To make the 4" cookies make the dough balls into a ball about halfway between a ping-pong ball and a golf ball.
My notes:
I cut back on the cloves a bit and use a large egg.
I use a #60 cookie scoop and get about 50 cookies about 1 1/2 inches in diameter
