Norwegian Crowns are a traditional Norwegian cookie that are especially popular during the holiday season. The cookies are made with a combination of cooked and raw egg yolks, butter, flour, and sugar, with a slight hint of salt to balance the sweetness. The cookies are then topped with a sprinkle of coarse sugar for added texture and a touch of sweetness.

Instructions

1.	Preheat oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
2.	In a food processor or blender, combine hard-cooked egg yolks, raw egg yolks, salt, and sugar. Mix until creamy and well combined.
3.	Gradually add in the softened butter, continuing to mix until mixture is light and fluffy.
4.	In a separate bowl, sift together the flour and baking powder. Slowly add the flour mixture to the butter and egg yolk mixture until well combined.
5.	Roll the dough out on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness. Cut out circles using a cookie cutter or a glass.
6.	Place the circles on the prepared baking sheets. Brush the tops with egg white and sprinkle coarse sugar over the circles.
7.	Bake for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden. Let cool completely before serving.
