Instructions: In large bowl, with mixer at low speed, beat margarine or butter and 1 cup confectioners sugar just until blended. Increase speed to high; beat until light and fluffy. Stir in flour and remaining ingredients. If necessary, with hand, knead mixture in bowl until it forms a ball.

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Roll 1 level tablespoon dough into 6"-long rope; cut rope crosswise in half. Repeat with remaining dough and place on ungreased large cookie sheets about 1" apart. Bake cookies 15 minutes or until edges begin to brown. With pancake turner, remove cookies to wire racks to cool. Sprinkle cookies with 2 tablespoons confectioners sugar.

Makes about 6 dozen cookies.
