I remember helping my grandmother making these. As my mother has passed away I have not one to ask.
It started with Eggnog to which dry thing were added. It was rolled out and cut in a square with a hole in the center. You would put one of the corners through the hold forming what looked like a know. Then it would be deep fried and when taken out of the old we would dust it with powdered sugar.
I have done the googel search and could not find any thing like this.
I thank all of you for all the help both now and in the past.
Happy Holliday.

FOR SLICE AND BAKE COOKIES: Divide dough into two halves and place each half on a sheet of waxed paper or freezer paper. Form each into a log shape approximately 2-inches wide and 12-inches long. Wrap remaining paper around each and freeze for 30 minutes or until firm. Cut into 1/4-inch slices.

FOR ROLLED COOKIES: Divide dough into four equal pieces; shape each piece into a disk. Wrap with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for four hours or until firm and easy to work with. On floured surface, roll to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut to desired shape. Do not roll scraps more than twice.

Bake one cookie sheet at a time at 375F for 5-7 minutes or until just the edges of cookies are lightly browned. DO NOT OVERBAKE. Cool 2 minutes on cookie sheet. Remove cookies to foil to cool completely.

Eggnog Cream Cheese Frosting
by Polish The Stars

Ingredients:
8oz Cream Cheese, softened
1/4 cup Butter, softened
1/2 teaspoon Rum Extract
1/4 teaspoon Nutmeg
1 cup Powdered Sugar

In a medium bowl, cream together cream cheese and butter. Mix in the rum and nutmeg. Gradually stir in the powdered sugar. Refrigerate for at least two hours.* Store in the refrigerator after use.

* You can eat the icing right away but it will have more of a cream cheese flavor. After being refrigerated for a couple of hours the eggnog flavor is more distinct.

I believe they are called "Kroosh-keys" - that's phonetic spelling - Hahaha I have a similar Swedish recipe which I'm still looking for (Boy, do I have waaaay too many recipes and books!) and will post ASAP.

These seemed a bit too labor-intensive as I recall, but of course, anything deep-fried is delicious!!!

I have several recipes., Usually combine both. It takes 2 or 3 people to make them. One rolling & cutting dough, one frying. They fry very quickly. Roller can also powder sugar cookies. We've always called them chrustick(spelling varies)

My recipes all use sour cream. My family loves them but very labor intensice. Usually batches make a lot, but they disappear quickly.
