Internet
List of Ingredients
2 cups sifted all purpose flour
3/4 cup sifted confectioners' sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 unbeaten egg whites
2/3 cup butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla
Sift flour, sugar and salt together in a large bowl. Add egg whites, butter and vanilla and mix until blended.
If desired, chill dough 1 hour for easier handling. Roll dough, using a rounded teaspoonful for each, into strips 9 inches long and 1/4-inch thick. Shape like pretzels. Place on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake in a 350-degree oven for 15 to 18 minutes or until golden brown. While warm, roll in sifted confectioners' sugar. Or cool and frost.
Vanilla Frosting
1 tablespoon butter, softened
1/2 cup sifted confectioners' sugar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
3 to 4 teaspoons cream (coffee cream or whole milk can be used)
Combine butter, sugar and vanilla. Add the cream 1 tablespoon at a time until it reaches spreading consistency.
For chocolate frosting, add 1/2 square unsweetened chocolate ( 1/2 ounce), melted and cooled.
For Coffee Frosting, substitute coffee for cream.
Yield: About 2 1/2 dozen cookies
