They are called "KNOTS" and every family has their own version of what they should look like. But no matter the shape they are wonderful to have.
KNOTS
3 large eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 3/4 cups unbleached all purpose flour
3 tsp baking powder
Pinch of salt ( I use a good quality Sea Salt )
Preheat oven at 350 degrees
Yields about 30 to 35 cookies
In your electric mixer , using the paddle attachment, mix the eggs, oil, sugar, and vanilla on medium speed.
Turn mixer to low speed and gradually add flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix until a soft dough is formed.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface.
Knead gently so that dough becomes soft and elastic.
Wrap the dough with plastic wrap or wax paper and let rest for 30 minutes at room temperature.
To make the knots, break off small pieces of dough and roll in 1/4 inch thick ropes that are about 4 inches long. Twist the dough ropes to make a loose knot .
Place on parchment lined cookie sheets.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until lightly browned.
Remove the knots using a large metal spatula and cool on wire cooling racks.
When completely cooled, frost with flavored Confectioners' icing.
