Title: Italian Sprinkle Cookies
Categories: Cookies, Snacks
Yield: 84 servings

6 lg Eggs; room temp
5 c A-P flour
2 c Confectioners' sugar
2 tb + 1 1/2 ts baking powder
1 c Shortening
3 ts Almond extract
1 1/2 ts Lemon extract

MMMMM---------------------------GLAZE--------------------------------
3 3/4 c Confectioners' sugar
1/2 c Warm milk
1 ts Almond extract
1 ts Vanilla extract
Colored sprinkles

Using a heavy-duty mixer, beat eggs on high speed until
light and foamy, about 5 minutes; set aside. In a large
bowl, combine the flour, confectioners' sugar and baking
powder; on low speed, gradually beat in shortening and
extracts until mixture resembles fine crumbs. Gradually
add beaten eggs (dough will be stiff).

Roll dough into 1-in. balls. Place 2 in. apart on
ungreased baking sheets. Bake @ 350-|F/175-|C for 12-14
minutes (tops of the cookies will not brown, but bottoms
should brown slightly).

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the confectioners'
sugar, milk and extracts until smooth. As soon as
cookies are removed from the oven, quickly dip 2 or 3 at
a time into glaze. Remove with a slotted spoon or tongs;
place on wire racks to drain. Immediately top with
sprinkles. Let dry for 24 hours before storing in
airtight containers.
