MY FAVORITE COOKIES

MIX TOGETHER
3 EGGS
1 CUP OF SUGAR… (I USE ½ CUP OF SUGAR)
2 STICKS OF BUTTER

ADD THEN MIX
4 Cups of Flour
3 Tablespoon baking powder
1 Tablespoon vanilla

Make small balls not bigger than a quarter and place one inch apart on a baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 – 15 minutes.
***
ICING
1 lime
1 egg white
3 cups of confectioner’s sugar
1 bottle of colorful sprinkles

Put egg white in a bowl and squeeze lime in the bowl. Turn on the mixer on low and beat for a minute. Add confectioner’s sugar and increase mixer speed to high. Beat mixture until thick and very white, about 5-7 minutes. The icing should hold stiff peak when you lift the beater. Add more confectioner’s sugar if needed.
Paste on cookies then put on sprinkles.
