KNOT COOKIES image

A friend of my Mom's, a little Italian lady, gave me this recipe years ago; she used to make them by the bushel and they are so good! This is one with which the children could help. Flavors I've used are anise, lemon, vanilla, peppermint, spearmint and orange. I also color the frosting to match the flavor of cookie.

loran flavoring oil of your choice
3 c all purpose flour
3 tsp baking powder

Steps:

  • 1. Combine eggs, sugar, milk and oil in large mixing bowl and mix well. Add flavoring oil of your choice, using only a tiny drop. Combine dry ingredients and stir in, mixing lightly.
