Ingredients:  
6 eggs
5 c. all-purpose flour
2 c. confectioners' sugar
2 tbsp. plus 1-1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 c. shortening, melted
1 tbsp. almond extract

Directions:
Using a heavy-duty electric mixer on high speed, beat eggs until light and foamy, about 5 minutes. Set aside. Another mixing bowl, stir together flour, sugar and baking powder; gradually add shortening and extracts until a bead-like texture is formed. Gradually add beaten eggs (dough will be stiff). Roll dough into 1-in. balls. Place on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 350º for 12 minutes. The tops of the cookies will not brown, but the bottoms should brown slightly.

For glaze, combine milk and extracts in a large bowl. Add sugar; whisk until smooth. As soon as cookies are removed from the oven, quickly immerse two or three at a time into the glaze. Remove with a slotted spoon. Place cookies on wire racks to drain. Quickly top with sprinkles. Let dry 24 hours before storing in airtight containers.
