Ingredients

Italian Cookies
  • 2 large egg
  • 7 Tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract (or vanilla extract)
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
Glaze
  • 1½ cups powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
  • 4 Tablespoons milk
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • Sprinkles

Instructions

For Cookies
    Cup of Yum
  1. Whisk the large eggs, oil, granulated sugar, and almond extract together in a large bowl. Stir in flour, baking powder, and salt.
  2. Divide dough into 18 sections (about 1 ½ tablespoons each) and roll each section into a ball. Chill balls of dough for at least an hour. You can also freeze for 20 minutes instead.
  3. Place cold dough balls on cookie sheets lined with parchment paper. Bake at 350° F. for 8 to 10 minutes only, or until the tops are set. The tops of the cookies should still be white. Don't over bake. Carefully remove cookies from oven and allow to cool completely.
For Glaze
  1. Combine all glaze ingredients (except for the sprinkles) in a small bowl and whisk until smooth and combined. Dip the tops of the cookies in the glaze, then top with sprinkles. Enjoy!
