Description
Your most blasé guests' taste buds will tingle when they sample your Christmas Cookie Kringle
 * Recipe by Miles Kimball

Ingredients

 * 3 hard-boiled egg yolks
 * 4 tbsp shortening
 * 2 cup flour
 * 1 egg yolk
 * ½ tsp cinnamon
 * ½ cup sugar
 * ½ tsp grated lemon rind
 * 4 tbsp butter
 * ½ tsp grated orange rind
 * 1 tsp vanilla

Directions

 * 1) Through a strainer the hard-boiled eggs you force, using the back of a spoon, of course, then combine with the raw egg yolks that's how it's done by the German folk.
 * 2) Work in the sugar, the butter, the shortening and when it's combined, add the flour, cinnamon, vanilla and all of the rind: now into a ball you roll the dough, and chill it and roll it to and fro.
 * 3) When it's ⅛ inch thick you cut it out neat, use a doughnut cutter and a cookie sheet: now paint each cookie with unbeaten egg white and sprinkle with pistachios to add to the delight.
 * 4) At 350°F, 8–10 minutes you bake.
 * 5) And you'll be proud of the kringle you make.
