These delightful Italian cookies are soft, sweet, and topped with colorful sprinkles, perfect for any celebration.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper.
Using parchment paper prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs on high speed until they are light and foamy, about 5 minutes.
Beating the eggs thoroughly ensures a light and airy texture for the cookies.
In another bowl, combine the flour, confectioners' sugar, and baking powder. Gradually mix in the butter and vanilla extract until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Use cold butter for a better crumbly texture.
Slowly add the beaten eggs and milk to the dry mixture, stirring until a stiff dough forms.
Add the liquid gradually to avoid overmixing.
Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets.
Keep the size consistent for even baking.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12 minutes, or until the bottoms are lightly browned.
Avoid overbaking to keep the cookies soft.
While the cookies bake, prepare the glaze by whisking together the confectioners' sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Ensure the glaze is lump-free for a smooth coating.
Once the cookies are baked, dip them into the glaze while still warm, then place them on wire racks.
Dipping the cookies while warm helps the glaze adhere better.
Sprinkle the cookies with colorful sprinkles immediately after glazing, then let them set on the racks.
Work quickly to ensure the sprinkles stick to the glaze.
Allow the cookies to dry completely before storing them in an airtight container.
Letting the cookies dry ensures the glaze sets properly.
