Colorful Easter egg cookies. These are soft almost like drop biscuits. (DH likes them with his meal as bread) They are good either plain or frosted.

Ingredients:

6 large eggs

1 cup sugar
3/4 cup oil
6 tsp. baking powder
4-1/4 cups flour
1 tsp. flavoring* (anise extract)
1 cup coconut or nuts (optional)

You can use any flavoring you like or add a drop or two of food coloring to frosting. Decorate with M and M's, jelly beans, cinnamon candies sprinkles, etc.

Directions:

With wooden spoon cream together eggs, oil, sugar and flavoring. Add baking powder and flour. Mix well.

Drop by spoonfuls onto greased cookie sheet

Bake at 350 degrees F for 12-15 minutes

Leave plain or frost with powdered sugar, water and drop or two of flavoring glaze, or use the "Best Butter Cream Frosting" (link below).
