Great Christmas cookies. They are a family project because kids love to be creative and make their own design!
4 eggs
4 cups flour
1 cup sugar
2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 lb butter
1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
Cream butter and sugar. Add remaining ingredients ending with flour.
Shape your cookies by hand. I like to make little twists, and pretzel shaped cookies.
Bake at 350 degrees until slightly golden about 10 minutes or so.
Glaze
Glaze:
Mix 10X sugar with Carnation evap milk, just enough to make glaze the consistency that you can spoon it or brush it on the cookies. Divide glaze in bowls and add food coloring if desired.
You can add flavorings if you desire, such as almond extract, or anise.
These are wonderful cookies, and great to make with your kids because they can shape them by hand and help glaze and decorate them. This was one of my son's favorite cookies when he was a kid.
What you will find here is a collection of recipes we have loved making over the years. We have a merging of recipes from family, and cherished friends. Food is not just sustenance its a feeling, a place, a memory to share. So often recipes are lost over the years. This is my place to preserve those recipes. The memories they create, the love behind them and the family events, parties, and reunions bring them back to us. Please enjoy.
