Norwegian Butter Ring CookiesThis versatile cookie recipe has it all! It uses up spare yolks that I always seem to accumulate. You can add food coloring or form into a variety of shapes for any holiday. It is a real hit at parties and cookie exchanges since the recipe makes 8 to 9 dozen. It may be divided and frozen as dough, or preformed cookies for later baking.

  17. Form the cookies into a simple, slightly overlapping wreath. If ends hang off the cookie they tend to break off. Make them into a ring like shape.
