Ingredients

3/4 cup shortening

1/4 cup butter

1 cup powdered sugar

2 large hard-boiled egg yolks, mashed

2 large eggs, separated

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon almond extract

1 1/4 cups flour

1 cup whole-wheat flour

Green colored sugar

12 red candied cherries, cut into quarters

Directions

In the bowl of an electric mixer combine Butter Flavor Crisco Shortening and confectioners' sugar; beat at medium speed until well blended.

Beat in hard-boiled egg yolks, uncooked egg yolks, vanilla and almond extracts. Beat in flour, 1/4 cup at a time, until well blended. Cover and refrigerate 3 hours. Let dough stand at room temperature until it becomes easy to handle.

Heat oven to 350ºF.

Divide dough into 2 equal portions. Cut each portion into 24 equal pieces. Roll each piece of dough into a 5-inch long rope. Form each rope into wreath or loop 1-1/2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet, overlapping both ends.

Brush each wreath with beaten egg white; sprinkle with colored sugar crystals. Lightly press cherry piece into top of each wreath.

Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until edges are lightly browned.

These sound delicious. I find that I like to bake cookies with confectioners sugar more so than granulated. Does it really make a difference?

Not to me, though I know some people who swear by one or the other. Go with what you know, I say!
