--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   2      cups          flour
   2 1/4  cups          sugar
   6                    eggs -- separated
   1      teaspoon      vanilla
                        sugar for sprinkling

Preparation:

Sift the flour. Beat the egg yolks in bowl with sugar and vanilla until thick and light. In another bowl, beat whites until stiff but not dry. Add whites alternately with flour to yolk mixture, folding in gently. Cover baking sheet with piece of waxed paper. Using a cookie press with wide, flat opening, squeeze dough onto waxed paper in shaped of fat macaroni--each cookie should be about1/2" thick and 2 1/2" long. Sprinkle cookies with a little sugar (brush excess from waxed paper or it will burn during the baking), and bake in preheated 350F. oven for about15 minutes Cool slightly, then peel off the paper. NOTE: Watch these carefully, as they bake quickly and the edges may burn.
