Ingredients
- Cookies
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup butter
- 2 tsp. vanilla
- 3 1/2 cup flour
- 4 tsp.baking powder
- Icing
- 2 cup sifted confectioner’s sugar
- 2 tsp. vanilla
- 6 tsp. water
Instructions
- Cookies: in a bowl sift together the flour and baking powder, set aside. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar.Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well.
- Mix in the vanilla. Add in the flour mixture. Knead until dough is firm and not sticky, adding more flour if necessary. Refrigerate 1 hour.
- Cut off small amount of dough and roll on floured surface into 6 inch strips. Twirl into shape and place on greased cookie sheets. Bake at 375 degrees for 8-10 minutes (the bottom should be lightly browned but the tops should remain light).
- Remove cookies to wire rack and cool completely before glazing. Icing: Combine the Icing ingredients in a bowl until just smooth. You want it more thick than thin, but still runny.
- Dip the tops of the cooled cookies into the glaze, then return to the wire rack, allowing the glaze to drip down the sides of the cookie.
- Top with sprinkles, while glaze is still wet.
