Norwegian Berlin Wreath Cookies, or 'Berlinerkranser' in Norwegian, is a traditional cookie recipe popular during the holiday season in Norway. These cookies are delicate, buttery, and lightly sweetened, making them a favorite among Norwegians every year. The cookies are usually shaped like wreaths, giving them a unique and appealing appearance to any table spread. They are a must-try for anyone with a sweet tooth who enjoys traditional and regional baked goods.

Instructions

1.	Use a mixer to beat the hard-boiled egg yolks, raw egg yolks, sugar, and butter together until light and fluffy.
2.	Slowly add in the flour, about 1 cup at a time, until the dough is well combined.
3.	Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
4.	Roll the dough into small ropes about 1/2 inch thick and 6 inches long. Cross the ropes over each other to form a double-wreath shape.
5.	Brush the wreaths lightly with beaten egg white, and sprinkle with granulated sugar.
6.	Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the cookies are lightly golden brown.
7.	Cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

While Norwegian Berlin Wreath Cookies are not a health food, they can make a delicious occasional treat when enjoyed in moderation.
Egg yolks contain essential nutrients such as choline, which plays a crucial role in brain health, and vitamin D which helps maintain strong bones. Butter can be a good source of the healthy Omega-3 fatty acid called Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA), which has been shown to improve heart health.
