Make a well in center of flour and put eggs and milk into it. Knead dough until smooth, about 5 minutes. If it seems too dry, add water, 1 teaspoon at a time until mixture holds together. Pinch off pieces of dough the size of a walnut, and roll into balls between the palms of the hands, Place balls on greased cookie sheet 1 inch apart and bake in moderate 350ºF oven 18-20 minutes , until toothpick inserted in center of ball comes out clean. Watch carefully, as they burn easily. Frost as soon as they come out of oven with any desired frosting. Makes 6 dozen. Caution: Handle these cookies very carefully, as they are quite delicate and will crumble.
