Italian Cookies
Makes About 3 Dozen Cookies
Ingredients:
4 large Eggs
1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
6 Tbs. Oil
2 tsp. Anise Extract
1/2 tsp. Salt
3 cups All-purpose Flour
6 tsp. [2 Tbs.] Baking Powder
Confectioners Sugar
Pre-heat oven to 350-F degrees and select a pair of
cookie sheets for baking.
Mix together eggs, sugar, oil, anise, and salt. Sift flour
and baking powder together and add the dry ingredients
to the wet mixture. Blend until a soft dough is formed.
Pinch off walnut-sized pieces of dough. Roll between
fingers to lengthen, and tie each into a knot.
Continue pinching, rolling, and knotting dough for each
cookie. (If the dough becomes a bit sticky, simply keep
your fingers well-dusted with flour.)
Bake for about 12 minutes, or until cookies are light
brown in color.
Remove from oven and sprinkle with confectioners
sugar. Store in an airtight container.
