1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
1 egg yolk
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg white
1/4 cup sugar
Beat butter, 1/2 cup sugar, the egg, egg yolk and vanilla until light and fluffy. Mix flour, soda and salt. (Dough will be stiff) Cover; chill 2 hours. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Shape dough by heaping teaspoonfuls into ropes, each 6 inches long and 1/4 inch thick. For smooth, even ropes, roll them back and forth on lightly floured cloth-covered board. On greased baking sheet, shape each rope into figure 8, letting ends extend 1/2 inch. Complete cookies one at a time. Beat egg white until foamy, gradually adding 1/4 cup sugar while beating. Brush tops of cookies with sweetened egg white. Bake 15 minutes. 4 dozen cookies
