A delicious frosted Italian cookie passed down to me from my grandmother. Ingredients:
3/4 cup butter |
1/3 cup white sugar |
3 eggs |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
2 tablespoons fresh orange juice |
3 cups all-purpose flour |
1 tablespoon baking powder |
2 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar |
Directions:
1. Cream margarine or butter and sugar thoroughly; add eggs, vanilla, and 2 tablespoons of orange juice. Combine flour and baking powder and gradually add to creamed mixture.
2. Knead dough on lightly floured board for about 5 minutes. Using tablespoonfuls of dough, roll in 6-inch lengths; press ends together to form rings. Let stand on ungreased cookie sheets at room temperature for 15 minutes.
3. Bake 350 degrees F (180 degrees C) for 15-17 minutes or until lightly golden.
4. To Make Icing: Combine 2 1/2 cups confectioner's sugar with enough orange juice to make a thin glaze. Dip each hot cookie into glaze; cool on racks. Decorate with confetti sprinkles, if desired.
