    List of Ingredients




    Greek Easter Cookies


    2 cups butter
    1 1/2 cups white sugar
    4 egg yolks
    1/2 cup milk
    8 cups sifted all-purpose flour
    2 teaspoons baking powder
    1 tablespoon orange zest
    1 egg

    Recipe





    1 Sift together flour and baking powder and set aside. In large bowl, cream together butter and sugar. Add 4 egg yolks one at a time, beating well after each one. Add milk and flour.

    2 Work with the hands until dough is smooth. Add grated orange rind. Dough should be stiff so add additional flour if needed.

    3 Break off small portions of dough and roll out into pencil-size strips about 11 inches long. Fold each strip into thirds, sideways, and press lightly together at ends.

    4 Place cookies on ungreased baking sheet. Brush tops with beaten egg. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 18 to 20 minutes.

    Makes 5 dozen
