Cookies of the day


Today I made a batch of Sparkling Toffee Cookies. They make the house smell great. The recipe is from Land of Lakes


Those were done in no time so I decided to make the Italian Sprinkle Cookies too. They're E's favorites.

Italian Sprinkle Cookies

6 eggs
5 cups all purpose flour
2 cups confectioners sugar
2 tbsps plus 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 cup oil
1 tbsp almond extract
1 1/2 tsp lemon extract

GLAZE: 1/2 cup warm milk
1 tsp almond extract
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 3/4 cups confectioners sugar

Colored sprinkles

Beat eggs till light and foamy, about 5 minutes. Set aside. In another bowl stir together flour, sugar and baking powder, gradually add oil and extracts and then gradually add beaten eggs (dough will be stiff) Roll dough into 1 inch balls. Place on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 350 for 12 minutes. The tops will not brown but the bottoms should slightly. Combine glaze ingredients until smooth. As soon as cookies come out of oven, quickly immerse two or three at a time into the glaze. Place on wire racks. Quickly top with sprinkles. Let dry 24 hours. Yield about 7 dozen.
