    List of Ingredients




    Cookies

    5 cups sifted all-purpose flour

    1 1/2 cups sifted confectioners’ sugar

    2 tablespoons baking powder

    1/8 teaspoon salt

    2 sticks (1/2 pound) butter, softened

    5 large eggs

    2 tablespoons vanilla extract

    Frosting and Decorating

    3 cups sifted confectioners’ sugar

    1 tablespoon melted butter

    1 teaspoon vanilla extract

    4 or 5 tablespoons water

    Multicolored nonpareils or sprinkles

    Recipe




    1. For the cookies, preheat the oven to 350°F. In a bowl, mix the flour, confectioners' sugar, baking powder and salt. Using your fingertips, blend in the butter until crumbly. Make a well in the center; stir in the eggs and vanilla.


    2. Knead the dough on a floured board until smooth. Shape dough into 1-inch balls; place 1 inch apart on lightly greased baking sheets. Bake for 15–20 minutes, until golden but slightly soft. Transfer to racks; let cool.


    3. For the frosting, mix the confectioners’ sugar, butter, vanilla and enough water to make a thin frosting. Dip tops of the cookies in frosting, sprinkle with nonpareils (colored sprinkles) and let dry.
