Italian Iced Cookies

Preheat oven to 375.

In a large bowl combine the sugar and butter; add in the eggs, milk, vanilla and lemon rind. 

Gradually add in up to 5 lbs. flour and the baking powder, sifting the flour and baking powder together as you go.  Make the dough light and fluffy.*

Roll out to 5/8 inch thickness.  Cut 3-inch slices and roll them around your finger to make a spiral.**

Bake about 15 minutes.

Glaze

Combine confectioner’s sugar, milk and flavoring to make the icing. I think you dip the cookies into the icing and then place them on a wire rack to drain.
