Ingredients
- 1 1/2 c. Butter
- 1 c. Sugar
- 2 tsp Grated orange peel
- 2 x Large eggs
- 4 c. Flour
- 1 x Egg white
- 2 Tbsp. Sugar Cherries, candied Red and green for garnish
Directions
- DESCRIPTION: Festive Christmas butter cookies, decorated like tiny wreaths and laced with a touch of orange.
- Heat oven to 400. Mix butter, sugar, orange peel and Large eggs thoroughly.
- Blend in flour. Shape dough by rounded teaspoonfuls into 6-inch ropes, each about 1/4-inch in diameter. Form each rope into a circle, bring one end over and through in a single knot to create a "wreath" with the ends of the rope extending 1/2-inch beyond the circle. Place on ungreased baking sheet. Beat egg white till foamy, add in sugar 2 Tb sugar, one tb at a time, while beating. Brush tops of cookies with egg white. Press tiny bits of minced red and green cherries in the center of the knot. Use green as
- "leaves" and red as "holly berries." Bake 10-12 min, till set but not brown. Remove from sheets immediately.
- These freeze well for several months if well-wrapped. I always store them separately because other cookies tend to pick up their orange scent/flavor. Betty Crocker.
