ITALIAN LEMON KNOT COOKIES Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by á-17891

Number Of Ingredients 9

5 cups unbleached flour
3 eggs
1 cup milk
1 bottle of pure lemon extract or,( 1 oz.)
Grated lemon rind
5 teaspoons of baking powder
1 Cup of sugar
1 3/4 cup of shortening
You can add nonpareils or not, it's up to you, but the frosting is made with pure lemon juice, a little grated lemon peel, and powdered sugar.

Steps:

  • Mix together flour, eggs, milk, lemon extract and rind, sugar, and baking powder, in large bowl. Add shortening till it forms a dough. You might need to add some more milk or more flour to get the right consistency, but after doing so, take golf ball size pieces and shape them into balls or roll them like a log and tie them in a bow, or make a horseshoe shape and twist them over like I did. Bake at 350 degrees for exactly 15 minutes. When they cool dip them in the icing and place them on wax paper untill they set.

The cookies were a bit dry for my liking, but the lemon flavor was nice. I think I'll try adding some more butter next time.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them. They were also very easy to make, so I'll probably make them again and reduce the amount of sugar next time.
