Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     European     German

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup white sugar
¾ cup butter
¾ cup shortening
2 eggs
2 teaspoons orange zest
4 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1 egg white
2 teaspoons white sugar
¾ cup candied citron peel
24 red candied cherries

Steps:

  • Cream together 1 cup sugar with butter or margarine, and shortening. Beat in 2 eggs and add orange peel.
  • Sift flour and gradually blend into sugar mixture. Dough should hold together and not be crumbly.
  • Take a walnut sized piece of dough, and roll in palms of hand to create a 4 to 6 inch rope. Bring ends together to form a circle, and fold ends over each other. Brush with a mixture made from beaten egg white and 2 teaspoons sugar; this makes a glossy finish. Add green citron slices for "leaves" and 1/2 red citron cherry for" berry" - use to decorate at the knot.
  • Bake at 400 degrees F (205 degrees C) on ungreased cookie sheets for 10 to 12 minutes. Bake only until cookies are light brown on bottom - just barely baked.
