Bohemian Christmas Cookies

Yolks of 2 hard-cooked eggs

1 tablespoon milk

½ cup butter or shortening

Flour to stiffen for rolling

⅓ cup sugar

3 tablespoons finely chopped blanched almonds

Yolk of I egg

Put the hard-cooked yolks of eggs through a ricer or sieve and cream with the butter or shortening. Add the sugar, cream again, then stir in the uncooked egg-yolk, the milk, and sifted flour. The dough should be stiff enough to roll. Cut into small round shapes with cooky-cutters, brush these with beaten egg-white and sprinkle with finely chopped almonds. Bake in a slow oven (300° F.).
