This is a traditional Norwegian Christmas cookie that is on the annual baking list for my grandma and mom, and now me.

The dipping can be a bit tricky but it's fun too.

For dough:
2		raw egg yolks
2		hard boiled egg yolks
1/2	c	sugar
1	c	butter
2	c	flour
For dipping:
1—2	c	Perl Sugar
2—4		whisked egg whites

Work well together the raw and hard boiled egg yolks. Add the sugar. Work in the butter alternating with the flour to form a smooth dough.

Roll into long roll with the hands (about 1/2" thick). Cut this in to about 3" pieces. Then form each piece into a little roll. Make a circle of each roll, crossing the ends.

Dip each into slightly beaten egg whites, then into coarse (perl) sugar.

Bake a delicate brown 10 to 15 minutes at 300 F.
