Scandanavian Holliday Springerles

No-longer-secret Holliday family recipe for lemon-flavored biscuit cookies.

Posted: Sept. 10, 2009

8 eggs
2 lbs powdered sugar
7 cups flour
1/2 tsp. cream of tarter
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1 oz lemon extract

---

Cream sugar and eggs with mixer for 15 minutes on high speed.

Add lemon flavor.

Mix cream of tarter and soda with first cup of flour. (Might not need all 7 cups.)

Add rest of flour, 1 cup at a time, mixing well after each cup. (Might need to finish mixing by hand and kneading the flour in until a consistency that can be molded.)

Roll to 1/2-inch thickness and mold. Lightly flour the molds to prevent sticking.

Let stand overnight before baking.

Bake in oven at 350 degrees for 5 to 8 minutes or until cookies are a light cream color.
