 Sift flour, soda, salt, and cinnamon together.

 Cream butter and sugar until fluffy light in medium size bowl, beat
 in eggs and brandy.

 Stir in flour mixture, half at a time, blending well to make a soft
 dough. Stir in the remainer of the ingredients, mixing to coat
 everything.

 Drop batter, a rounded teaspoon full at a time, 1" apart onto a
 lightly greased cookie sheet.

 Bake at 350°F for 12 minutes or until firm and lightly browned.

 When cool, store in an air tight container. These cookie dry out
 quickly and get hard otherwise.
