Vanilla Broetchen

5 eggs -- room temperature
3 1/2 cups flour sifted
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking powder

Beat eggs until frothy. Add sugar one spoonful at a time. Beat for 20
mins at medium speed. Gradually add vanilla extract and the sifted dry
ingredients. Grease a cookie sheet with butter. Drop rounded spoonfuls
of cookie dough onto the cookie sheet approximately one inch apart.
Cookies must dry overnight. Bake at 325-degree oven for 10 12
mins.Traditionally served in Germany at Christmas time.
Hints: For a crisper cookie, use butter and all-purpose flour. For a
more cake-like cookie, use shortening and cake flour. For a lower-fat
version, you can substitute whole eggs for tofu! Use 1/4 cup firm tofu
for each whole egg!
