Number Of Ingredients 14
Steps:
- Sift together the flour baking powder and salt onto a piece of wax paper. In a large mixing bowl beat together the sugar and the shortening until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time until blended. Beat in the milk and the lemon juice, occasionally scraping the sides of the bowl. Holding on to the wax paper like a funnel, add the dry ingredients into the mixer. Mix until well blended. The dough should be soft and sticky. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Chill at least 2 hours or overnight. Preheat the oven to 350 F. Line two large baking sheets with parchment. Spray lightly with cooking spray. Using a medium scoop, about 2 tablespoons, place dough on baking sheet about an inch apart from each other. Bake 12 minutes. These should not brown. Let cookies rest 5 minutes in the pan. Transfer to rack to cool completely. To make the glaze, combine the confectioner's sugar and lemon juice in a small bowl. Stir in water 1 teaspoon at a time until glaze has the consistency of heavy cream. Dip the top of the cookies into the glaze. Sprinkle with jimmies (sprinkles) if desired. Place on rack to dry. Store in air tight container or fridge.

Steps:
- Mix 1/2 cup sugar, salt, baking powder, flour and 1 cup butter or margarine and work in like a pie crust. Set aside.
- Beat 4 of the eggs with milk. Add 1/2 teaspoon of lemon juice, and vanilla.
- Make a well with dry ingredients and add lemon mixture. Mix in Sambucca and the one egg.
- Make ropes with dough about 4 inches long and shape into whatever you like. I usually shape into spiral shape. Bake on ungreased cookie sheet Bake for 15 minutes at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Make a glaze with confectioners' sugar and flavor with the almond extract (or any other flavoring you like). Add enough milk to the confectioners' sugar to make a loose frosting. Try to frost the cookies when cool. Just dip tops into frosting and twist. Sprinkle colored candies, if you like them, while the cookies are still wet with frosting.
- You can also use this recipe to make filled cookies. For filled cookies you need to roll the dough into 12 x 4 inch oblong shapes and fill with filling. To Make Filling: Poach prunes with a little water. Remove from heat and add raisins, chopped walnuts, chopped candied cherries and 2 eggs. Mix well. Add a few drops of any flavoring you like, I like lemon.
- After the dough is stretched, place the filling in the middle , lengthwise and roll dough. Place on cookie sheet with seam on the bottom.
- Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) until the crust is golden (about 20-30 min.) When cool you can frost the logs and let the frosting dry then slice on the bias. (My husband loves the ends of the logs.) ENJOY!!

- To make sure the biscuits are cooked evenly, rotate the baking sheet halfway through the baking time.
