Method

14 steps

Zest and juice one lemon; set aside.
In a large bowl, combine 6 eggs, 1 cup sugar, and 1 cup vegetable oil; mix until frothy.
Add lemon zest and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; mix well.
In another bowl, combine 5 cups allpurpose flour and 6 teaspoon baking powder.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
Flour the work surface and your hands; shape the dough into a ball.
Divide the dough into four parts, then cut each into 12 equal pieces.
Roll each piece into a log, fold in half, and twist twice.
Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C).
Bake the twisted cookies on a baking sheet for 10 to 15 minutes or until edges are lightly golden brown.
Cool the cookies on a rack.
Prepare icing by mixing 1 cup powdered sugar with lemon juice until runny.
Dip cooled cookies into the icing and add sprinkles while the icing is wet.
Allow icing to set; store in an airtight container at room temperature.
