Étapes
- Measure 110g of sugar. Mix with flour, butter, orange peel, egg yolks and salt.
- Mixture may look dry. It's ok.
- Roll pieces of dough into little logs. Cross ends over on cookie sheet to make wreaths (or sida symbol).
- Brush cookies with egg white (you have left over from yolks or milk).
- Place a decoration where ends cross...the original recipe uses candied cherries which we replaced with raisins or something else that is edible!
- Bake 10 to 12 minutes until lightly golden. Cool on rack.
- You can sprinkle the wreaths with a little sugar before baking, if you want.
