ITALIAN CHRISTMAS COOKIES (GOOD ANYTIME OF THE YEAR)

COOKIES:

4 eggs
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter
2 tsp. vanilla
3 1/2 cup flour
4 tsp. baking powder

Sift dry ingredients.

Cream butter and sugar, beat in eggs; add vanilla and dry ingredients.

Knead and add flour as needed to keep dough from sticking to hands. Pinch off dough, roll in your hands to form a log and then twirl into shape.

Place on greased cookie sheets. Bake at 375 for 10 minutes. Cool on wire racks.

ICING:
2 cup sifted confectioner’s sugar
2 tsp. vanilla
6 tsp. water

Stir until creamy.

 Dip cookies into icing and sprinkle with trim. Place on wire rack with wax paper on counter to collect the dripping icing and sprinkles.

Note: This recipe and photo are from recipe4diaries. Some of the Italian descendants suggested substituting anise for the vanilla.
