Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large bowl, beat eggs and sugar until light and fluffy. Add melted butter and vanilla extract, mixing well.
In a separate bowl, combine flour and baking powder. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place on a lined baking sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until lightly golden.
For the icing, mix confectioners’ sugar with milk to create a smooth, thick glaze. Dip the top of each cookie into the icing, then return to the baking sheet. Add sprinkles while icing is still wet.
Allow the icing to set before serving. Enjoy your festive Italian Christmas Cookies!
