Anna Ortlund (Margie’s great grandmother) worked in the King’s kitchen before she came to the US (at age 16! By herself!) This was a special cookie made for the King. Margie’s grandfather made a proper cookie cutter out of a tin can – heart shaped with two circles and a teardrop cutout.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 lb butter (1 c)
- 1/4 piece of yeast
- 1/2 c cream
- Enough flour to knead (about 2 c)
- 1 egg white, beaten
- Coarse sugar
Directions:
- Mix and knead together.
- Cut.
- Dip in beaten egg.
- Sprinkle with sugar.
And that’s all the directions! The dough is like soft bread dough and tricky to dip in egg whites. You probably would be ok baking at 300° to 350° until brown.
