    Recipe Introduction


    This recipe comes from a local Italian cookbook put out by the Rotary Club filled with great recipes by little old Italian ladies (they always have great recipes!) I have not tried this one yet.

    List of Ingredients




    1 cup shortening
    1 1/2 cups sugar
    6 eggs
    3 tsp lemon extract
    1/2 cup milk
    5 cups flour
    5 tsp baking powder

    Recipe



    Cream the shortening, sugar, eggs, lemon extract and milk together. Add the flour and baking powder and mix until incorporated and moistened. With a teaspoon, take a small portion of dough and roll into a ball and place on greased cookie sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes at 375 or until barely golden on the bottom. Cool cookies on wire racks.

    Lemon icing

    1 cup confectioners sugar
    2 Tbls milk
    1/2 tsp lemon extract

    Whisk icing ingredients together until they are a drippy consistency. Drizzle over each cookie and then let dry. (Icing will drip down sides.)
