  • 1/2 lb butter, softened (2 sticks)
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 4 cups flour

  • 1 3/4 cups powdered sugar (1/2 of a 1-lb box)

  2. Add eggs and vanilla, mixing well.
  3. Combine flour and baking powder, then blend into the butter mixture.
  4. Break off small, walnut sized pieces of dough and shape into bows, braids, knots, s shapes, or any shape you desire.
