Another cookie receipe request
Not really sure what they are though.. I think they are called lemon drops. they are the italian cookie with a yellowish icing on top and sometimes sprinkles... I love them and everyone I ask who makes them... Doesn't need a recipe they just know what to do!!!

LEMON DROP COOKIES (ANGINETTI) Makes 50 cookies
3 eggs 1/2 cup milk 2 teaspoons lemon extract 1/2 cup sugar 1/2 cup vegetable oil 3 cups flour 8 teaspoons baking powder Confectioners' Frosting (recipe follows)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In an electric mixer on medium speed, beat eggs, milk, lemon extract, sugar, and oil until well blended.
On low speed, add flour and baking powder. Mix until just blended. The dough should be soft and sticky.
Lightly dust the dough and your fingers with a little additional flour. Drop the dough from a teaspoon onto a lightly greased cookie sheet, spacing the cookies 2 inches apart.
Bake immediately for 8 to 10 minutes, or until slightly browned. Remove cookie sheet from oven. Using a metal spatula, remove cookies from sheet onto wire racks. Cool on wire racks.
Frost with Lemon Confectioners’ Frosting (see the following recipe).
If it is necessary to freeze cookies, use heavy-duty plastic freezer bags and freeze the cookies unfrosted.
CONFECTIONER'S FROSTING Yields enough for 50 cookies
This is a basic glaze that can be used for several different cookies. It is a very versatile icing. You can substitute anise or another extract to create different flavors.
6 cups confectioners' sugar 2 teaspoons lemon extract 1/2 cup water
In an electric mixer on medium speed, beat all ingredients until smooth.
Using a metal spatula. frost the tops of the cookies, The frosting will drip down the sides and coat the cookies.
Dry the frosted cookies on wire cooling racks. Store in an airtight container.
VARIATIONS:
VANILLA CONFECTIONERS’ FROSTING: Substitute 2 teaspoons vanilla extract for the lemon extract
ORANGE CONFECTIONERS’ FROSTING: Substitute 2 teaspoons orange extract for the lemon extract and 1/2 cup orange juice for the water.

Re: Another cookie receipe request
they came out HUGE (so be careful how big you plop down the dough on the cookie sheet. They were slightly brown on the outside and soft and flaky on the inside. Delicious!
ETA: I shaped them like small meatballs and they came out perfect.

Re: Another cookie receipe request
they are soo easy! The dough though is very very sticky, so make sure to put a LITTLE bit of flour on your palms before you begin.
The 8 tsp of Baking Powder is what makes them BLOW UP! LOLOL
