ITALIAN WEDDING CAKES
This cookie pretty much retains whatever shape you make it. You can use vanilla or anise extract, depending on your preference. It's a not-too-sweet, cakey cookie. They are my husband's favorite cookie.

Steps:
- Combine flour and shortening as if for pie crust. Add baking powder and combine.
- In a separate bowl, beat eggs and then add sugar and vanilla.
- Add flour mixture to egg mixture.
- To shape cookies, you can simply roll them into 1-inch balls or you can roll them into logs and fold them into pretzel shapes. They will puff up some but will mostly retain whatever shape you form them into.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 12 to 14 minutes. They will not brown much.
- Cool and frost with your favorite glaze and add sprinkles. For convenience, you can melt store-bought frosting.

Beat in the buttermilk mixture alternately with the flour, mixing just until incorporated. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. Gently fold the egg whites into the batter. Stir in pineapple, coconut and 1 cup pecans.

- To make the frosting: Cream together the butter, cream cheese and confectioners' sugar until blended. Stir in 2 teaspoons vanilla and 1 cup pecans. If frosting is too stiff to spread, stir in milk a teaspoon at a time until it reaches desired consistency.

ITALIAN WEDDING COOKIES
Also sometimes called 'Mexican wedding cookie', 'Russian tea cakes', or 'butterballs', can also be shaped into crescents. You can also substitute pecans and they are very good as well. This is the best version of these I have ever seen, it was given me by a friend who grew up in central Europe.
