Heidesand (My Famous Sugar Cookies) image

These cookies never last out the day at work, church get-togethers or wherever I take them. I got this recipe back in high school in my German class and have been making them ever since. Yummy! They've become my annual blue ribbon winner at the local county fair.

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover egg whites. I often make them after making a meringue pie or angel food cake.
