List of Ingredients




3 eggs

l/2 cup milk

2 teaspoons lemon extract

l/2 cup sugar

l/2 cup vegetable oil

3 cups flour

8 teaspoons baking powder (This sounds like a lot, but 8 teaspoons is correct.)
FROSTING:
6 cups confectioners' sugar

2 teaspoons lemon extract

l/2 cup water.



Recipe



1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2. In an electric mixer on medium speed, beat eggs, milk, lemon extract, sugar and oil until well blended.

3. On low speed, add flour and baking powder. Mix until just blended. The dough should be soft and sticky.

4. Lightly dust the dough and your fingers with a little additional flour. Drop the dough from a teaspoon onto a lightly greased cookie sheet, spacing the cookies 2 inches apart.

5. Bake immediately for 8 to 10 minutes or until slightly browned. Remove cookie sheet from oven. Remove cookies from sheet onto wire racks. Cool on wire racks.

6. MAKE FROSTING: In an electric mixer on medium speed, beat all ingredients until smooth. Using a metal spatula, frost the tops of cookies. The frosting will drip down the sides and coat the cookies. Dry the frosted cookies on wire racks. (If it is necessary to freeze cookies, use heavy-duty plastic freezer bags and freeze the cookies unfrosted.) Store in an airtight container.
