World Cuisine Recipe · Italian Cookies I

This cookie recipe has been handed down to me from my grandmother. It has been in the family for at least four generations.

Ingredients

• ½ cup butter, softened
• ½ cup white sugar
• 3 eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 3 teaspoons baking powder

Cooking Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until smooth. Mix in the egg and vanilla. Combine the flour and baking powder; stir into the creamed mixture until blended. Divide dough into walnut sized portions. Roll each piece into a rope and then shape into a loop. Place cookies 2 inches apart on the prepared cookie sheets.
3. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, until firm and golden at the edges.
