Berliner Kranser
Prep: 45 minutes
Chill: 1 hour
Bake: 18 minutes per batch
Makes: 36 cookies
Oven: 325
1 cup butter
1/2 cup sifted powdered sugar
1 hard-cooked egg yolk, sieved
1 raw egg yolk
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 and 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 slightly beaten egg white
2-3 tablespoons pearl sugar or coarse sugar (regular sugar works fine as well)
1. In a large mixing bowl beat butter with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add powdered sugar; beat until fluffy. Beat in hard-cooked and raw egg yolks and vanilla. Beat in flour until combined. Cover and chill about 1 hour or until firm enough to handle. (Chilling longer may make dough too firm to roll.)
2. Using about 1 tablespoon dough for each cookie, roll into 6-inch long ropes. On an ungreased cookie sheet shape into a ring, overlapping about 1 inch from ends. Brush with egg white; sprinkle with sugar.
3. Bake in a 325 degree oven for 18-20 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Transfer cookies to a wire rack and let cool completely.
Note: These cookies are great because they use such common (and so few) ingredients and are deliciously buttery! They are stupendous, and not just because they are Scandinavian holiday cookies.
