ITALIAN LOVE KNOT COOKIES
My family loves these cookies! I grew up loving these cookies as well! It is an old family recipe that has been passed down to me - I have been making these for about 45 years. It is a "doughy" cookie that is not too sweet.
INGREDIENTS
1½ teaspoon vanilla
3½ cups flour
¾ stick butter – melted
½ cup sugar
4 eggs
2½ teaspoons baking powder
Put all the ingredients in a mixer bowel - add the baking powder LAST – then mix all ingredients with mixer. Knead the dough (use dough hook in mixer) – keep kneading it until it is a solid ball of dough. It will be smooth and not sticky. The dough will be easy to handle. If the dough is sticky, keep kneading. You can add a little bit of flour to help with the stickiness - but don't add too much.
Take a piece of dough and roll it out until it is about the thickness of a pencil and tie in a knot. (See photos)
