How to cook deliciously - Angeletti (Italian Christmas Cookies)

1. Stage

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a large cookie sheet.

2. Stage

Whisk together sugar, butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla in a large bowl until blended.

3. Stage

Mix flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Add to the wet ingredients and stir until evenly blended. Cover the surface of the dough with plastic wrap or waxed paper and let stand for 5 minutes.

4. Stage

With floured hands, shape dough by level tablespoon into 1-inch balls. Place balls 2 inches apart on the prepared cookie sheet.

5. Stage

Bake in the preheated oven until puffed on top and light brown on the bottom, 7 to 8 minutes. Remove from the oven and transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool, about 30 minutes. Shape remaining dough into cookies and baking instructions.

6. Stage

Whisk together confectioners' sugar and water in a small bowl until blended. Dip the top of each cooled cookie into the glaze, then place on a wire rack set over waxed paper (this will catch any drips.) Immediately sprinkle cookies with candy sprinkles. Allow glaze to set for about 20 minutes.
