German Eikranz Cookies

I lost my grandmother's recipe for making these cookies. It's an old German cookie, but I'm not exactly sure how you spell it. It's either Eikranz, or Eirekranz, or something close.

My mother has made these cookies every year since I was a little girl. I decided to make them this year, but I lost my grandmother's recipe card! This will be the first year without these cookies at Christmas.

They are made with the yolks of hard-boiled eggs in the dough. Can someone please help me?

Patti earlier requested an "Eikrantz" recipe for a German crescent-shaped cookie made with the yolks of hard-boiled eggs and rolled in cinnamon sugar and chopped nuts. And thanks to this request, we now have three suggested spellings, "Eikrantz," "Eikranz," or "Eirekranz," but it all sounds like the same German cookie that was traditionally made at Christmas time.

Let's hope someone, somewhere can supply an authentic copy of the traditional cookie recipe. These cookies sound so good.
