Directions

 * Your most blasé guests' taste buds will tingle
 * when they sample your Christmas Cookie Kringle
 * Through a strainer the hard-boiled eggs you force,
 * using the back of a spoon, of course,
 * then combine with the raw egg yolk
 * that's how it's done by the German folk.
 * Work in the sugar, the butter, the shortening and when it's combined,
 * add the flour, cinnamon, vanilla and all of the rind
 * now into a ball you roll the dough,
 * and chill it and roll it to and fro.
 * When it's ⅛ inch thick you cut it out neat,
 * use a doughnut cutter and a cookie sheet
 * now paint each cookie with unbeaten egg white
 * and sprinkle with pistachios to add to the delight.
 * At 350°F, 8 – 10 minutes you bake.
 * And you'll be proud of the kringle you make.
