Italian Cookies
Shirley (Fisette) Harvey--whose family we've known for AGES--provided this excellent recipe.
6 eggs
1-1/2 cups sugar
6 Tbsp. vegetable oil
2 tsp. vanilla extract
5 cups all-purpose flour
6 tsp. baking powder
Combine all ingredients thoroughly. Form into balls. Bake on greased cookie sheets for 8 minutes in a preheated 375º F. oven.
Glaze:
Mix 1-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar with 3 to 4 Tbsp. hot water and 1 tsp. vanilla extract until the mixture reaches the desired consistency. Dip cookies in glaze, then sprinkle on toppings as desired.
