Ingredients
6 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup shortening
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon flavoring (anise, lemon or vanilla)
3 to 4 cups flour
Ingredients (frosting)
2 egg white
1 pound confectioners’ sugar
juice of 1 lemon (or lemon flavoring)
Method
Step 1
Cream shortening and sugar. Add beaten eggs and flavoring. Add baking powder and enough flour to hold together, about 3 to 4 cups. Shape into balls. If hands get sticky, flour them. Put on well greased cookie sheet and bake at 400° for 10 to 15 minutes. Do not over bake.
Step 2
For frosting, beat egg whites slightly. Add confectioners' sugar and enough juice to make thin enough to spread. Beat well on high for 2-3 minutes. Frost cooled cookies.
