Makes about 36
1 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup sifted powdered sugar
1 hard cooked egg yolk, sieved
1 raw egg yolk
1 teaspoon vanilla
2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 slightly beaten egg white
1/3 cup (14) sugar cubes, crushed
Beat butter for 30 seconds. Add powdered sugar and beat until fluffy. Beat in egg yolks and vanilla. Stir in flour. Cover and chill one hour. Preheat oven to 325 F. Work with a small amount of dough at a time, keeping the rest chilled until needed. Using about one tablespoon of dough for each cookie, roll into six inch ropes. Shape each rope into a wreath, overlapping (form a cross) about 1 inch from the ends. Brush with egg white. Sprinkle with crushed sugar cubes. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 15 - 17 minutes or until golden. Cool about one minute before removing to a wire rack.

Would make this again.
I make these every Christmas and put a half marchino cherry where the dough crosses. They are beautiful and disappear quickly. 5 stars

These are the cookies I ate with my Grandfather in the ice-shack with hot chocolate. They are best with some sort of hot drink 4 stars

Would not make this again.
We had no idea what kind of cookie this was before we made it. They turned out like those shortbread cookies you buy in tins at the grocery store, so we didn't really like them. They seem like they need some extra flavoring of some sort. Peanut butter? Lemon? Chocolate? 3 stars
