Easter cookies

2 c. sugar

4 eggs

250 gr. butter

½ cup. milk

½ cup. orange juice

orange zest

1 kg flour

4 tsp baking powder

2 vanilla

½ tsp soda

½ tsp salt

Method 

Beat the butter and sugar well.

Add the eggs one by one. Add the milk with the lemon juice and zest.

In another bowl mix all the dry ingredients with half of the flour and begin to add this mixture to another. We put so flour as needed to make the dough not too hard, but does not stick to hands.

Allow dough to rest for a quarter of an hour. Roll  cookies in desired shape spread  t a little beaten egg on top of each cookie to shine. I usually put one egg in a bowl and add a little water, beat then spread on cookies well and bake at 180 ° for 10 '-20', depending on the size.
