Soft Italian Easter cookies with vanilla and almond, glazed and sprinkled for a cute and tasty Easter delight.
Ingredients:
  • 1.75 cups white sugar
  • 0.5 cup butter
  • 0.25 cup milk
  • 0.25 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 3.75 cups all-purpose flour
  • 5 teaspoons baking powder
  • 4 cups confectioners' sugar
  • 0.5 cup butter, softened
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • 3 drops red food coloring
  • candy sprinkles
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to a toasty 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and lightly grease the cookie sheets.
  • In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat together sugar and butter until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in milk, oil, vanilla, and almond extract. Combine flour and baking powder, then stir into the milk mixture to form a dough.
  • Shape dough into 1-inch balls, then roll them into 5-inch ropes on a floured surface. Twist the ropes into loose knots and place cookies 1 inch apart on the cookie sheets.
  • Bake the cookies in a preheated oven until the bottoms are golden brown, about 5 minutes on each shelf. Cool on a wire rack before serving.
  • Make the icing by blending confectioners' sugar, butter, vanilla, and almond extract using an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually mix in milk, one tablespoon at a time. Add food coloring and stir until fully combined.
  • Turn the cooled cookies upside down and dunk them into the icing, then generously sprinkle with candy sprinkles for a delightful finishing touch.
