Italian love knots are simple cookies that can easily be flavored with lemon, orange, or any other flavor you enjoy.

6 eggs
1/2 c sugar
1/2 c butter
3 c flour
1 Tbsp baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup milk

Mix together eggs, sugar and butter. Then beat in flour, baking powder and salt. Add milk to make it smooth.

Take a ball the size of a large olive and roll out into a cord. Tie the cord into a knot. Set the knots onto cookie sheets and cook at 375F for 15 minutes. Cool thoroughly before serving.

If you want to ice the cookies, you can do so with a simple sugar-milk icing flavored with orange, vanilla, lemon, or whatever else you enjoy.
