Steps:
- Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.
- Cream sugar, butter, and shortening together in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Add eggs. Beat in lemon extract. Add flour mixture gradually, beating well to combine. Wrap dough in waxed paper and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 2 baking sheets.
- Place the dough on a lightly-floured surface. Break off golf ball-sized pieces of dough. Roll each piece into a rope about 7 inches long and 1/2 inch in diameter. Tie into a knot with one end poking up in the center. Place 1-inch apart on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, 10 to 15 minutes.
- While cookies bake, combine confectioners' sugar, milk, and lemon extract in a bowl for icing until smooth.
- Transfer baked cookies to a wire rack to cool slightly, about 5 minutes. Spread icing evenly on top of the slightly warm cookies and add sprinkles.

ITALIAN KNOT COOKIES
These Italian knot cookies are soft, sweet, glazed Sicilian biscotti, from a recipe my great-grandmother gave me, not hard like traditional biscotti, not baked twice...These should be kept in an airtight container.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream sugar, butter, margarine, milk, vanilla extract, and almond extract together in a large bowl. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating briefly after each addition.
- Combine flour, baking powder, and salt; add 1 cup at a time to the creamed mixture until a dough forms, using your hands if and when necessary. Turn out onto a floured board and knead briefly until smooth and a bit sticky, but not sticking to your hands. Set aside to rest for 5 minutes.
- Pull off small pieces of dough, 1 at a time, and roll into a rope. Gently place one end towards the middle, followed by the other end, in a way to slightly overlap each other. Repeat to form remaining cookies and place on the prepared cookie sheets.
- Bake in the preheated oven in batches until just turning a light brown on the bottom, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove to a wire rack and allow to cool slightly.
- Meanwhile mix confectioners sugar, milk, and lemon juice together in a small bowl to form a thin glaze. Dip warm cookies in the glaze and sprinkle with sugar or sprinkles. Let set on waxed paper or a cooling rack to dry.

CROSTOLI - KNOT COOKIES
Can't recall where I got this recipe, I have been making them for about 20 years. They are a fried cookie,lite and crisp. I use a deep fry pan for this. They add a different texture to the cookie tray at Holiday time. Also the almond - orange extract is delightful too.
