Day in the Life of an Idiot

I've never had sandbakkels, but could be. Here's the recipie:

1 cup butter (or margarine)
2 cups of sugar
2 eggs
1 egg, separated
2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
4 cups of all-purpose flour
cinnamon
additional sugar

Cream butter in a large mixing bowl: gradually add 2 cups of sugar, beating well. Add eggs and egg yolk; beat well. Stir in vanilla. Add flour, mix well.

Roll to 1/4 inch thickness on lightly floured surface. Cut with 2 1/2 inch round cutter*. Beat egg white lightly: brush over cookies. Combine cinnamon and additional sugar: sprinkle over cookies. Place 2 inches apart on greased cookie sheet**. Bake at 350 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes. Remove to wire racks.

* or really any shape cutter. I made turtles, cardinals, rocket ships and stars.

** or line cookie sheets with parchment paper, if you have it.
