Combine butter and 3/4 cup powdered sugar in large bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until creamy. Reduce speed to low; add flour, vanilla, 1/2 teaspoon cloves and brandy extract. Beat until well mixed. Cover; refrigerate until firm (at least 1 hour).
Heat oven to 350°F. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Place 1 inch apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake for 15 to 17 minutes or until very lightly browned. Cool completely.
