12 Eggs
1 lb Butter
3 c Sugar
7 c Flour
1/2 ts Salt
5 ts Baking powder
4 ts Vanilla or almond extract
Confectioner’s sugar
Cream butter & sugar; add eggs one at a time & beat well after each
addition. Add extract & beat well. Sift flour, salt & baking powder
together. Gradually fold in flour mixture to egg mixture. Mix until batter
drops easily off spoon onto a sheet of wax paper which is covered with
confectioner’s sugar. Roll in sugar quickly & place on baking sheet (use
baking parchment on cookie sheets if possible). Bake in 375 oven for about
12 minutes. When cookie is barely golden, very pale, they are done. Yields
about 12 dozen cookies.
