Ingredients: |
|
|
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
1 egg yolk

1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour

Directions:
|
Beat butter, 1/2 cup sugar, the egg, egg yolk and vanilla until light and fluffy. Mix in flour, soda and salt. (Dough will be stiff.) Cover; chill 2 hours.
Heat oven to 350 F. Shape dough by heaping teaspoonfuls into ropes, each 6 inches long and 1/4 inch thick. For smooth, even ropes, roll them back and forth on lightly floured cloth-covered board.
On greased baking sheet, shape each rope into figure-8, letting ends extend 1/2 inch. Complete cookies one at a time.
Beat egg white until foamy, gradually adding 1/4 cup sugar while beating. Brush tops of cookies with sweetened egg white. Bake 15 minutes. 4 dozen cookies.
