Directions: |
Directions:Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment or baking mats; set aside.
In a large bowl, use a handheld mixer to beat the eggs until light and fluffy. Add in the sugar and beat until mixture is pale in color; about 2-3 minutes. Mix in the melted butter and vanilla until smooth.
Add in the flour, baking powder, and salt and mix on low until the mixture comes together and forms a dough.
Dust your work surface with a bit of flour and pour out dough. Lightly knead the dough together into a large ball. Cut the dough into 4 equal pieces. Cut those pieces in half to make 8 equal dough balls.
Take the dough ball and use fingers to gently roll into a 12-inch rope shape, using a bit more flour if the dough is sticky. Cut each rope into three equal pieces and pinch ends together to make rings. Place on prepared baking sheets about two inches apart (you should be able to fit a dozen cookies per baking sheet).
Bake the cookies for about 18 minutes, or until the tops are light golden brown. Let the cookies sit on the baking sheet to cool while you prepare the icing.
Icing:
To make the icing, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla. Flip over the cooled cookies and dip the tops into the icing letting the excess drip off.
Place on parchment paper and top with sprinkles. Let dry completely before storing. |
