1 dozen eggs
2 c. sugar
2 c. melted Crisco
4 tbsp. baking powder
1 1/2 tbsp. lemon or anise extract
8-9 c. flour

Beat eggs well; add sugar and keep beating. Melt Crisco and when cool. Add to eggs and sugar. Keep beating extract. Take about 8 cups of lour and add baking powder and shift 2 times. Gradually add to egg mixture. Keep beating slowly until about 3/4 of the flour is well mixed. Rest of the flour on bread board. Divide dough into 3 parts.

Take 1 part at a time and knead in gently as much flour as you think. It should be kind of soft, too much flour makes them hard. Flour hands and pull apart a piece of dough and roll in the palm of hand. Like a ball, only have a hump in the center. Grease cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes or longer.

FROSTING: Add a little Crisco to confectioners sugar, milk, and extract. Add color if you wish. I frost them at night, one at a time. Place on wax paper. Add candy shots. This recipe makes about 10-12 dozen. That's a lot. Enjoy.
