6 lg. eggs
1 1/2 c. sugar
2 sticks butter, melted and cooled
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. lemon extract
1/2 c. milk
1 orange rind, grated
6 c. flour
3 tbsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt

Beat eggs, gradually adding sugar until light and fluffy, on high speed for about 5 minutes. Add butter. Add vanilla, lemon extract, milk, and orange rind. Add 4 cups of the flour, baking powder, and salt. Remove from mixer and fold in 2 cups flour. Cover and let rest 1 hour. Place dough, a little at a time, into a cookie press. Shape into "S" or "I" shapes, and place on ungreased cookie sheet.

Bake in a preheated 400°F oven for 10 minutes or even less, being careful not to burn them.

Variations: Use pure almond flavoring or strega (Galliano) in place of the lemon. Amaretto liqueur makes another wonderful addition. Adjust flavorings to taste. Cookies may be dunked halfway in melted chocolate.
