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.
