Hi, I have a friend who makes these. I don't no if it's the same recipe or
not, but they are best eaten when they are warm.

Hi Sandy,
A cousin of mine married a girl whose parents were Menonites. She
makes what she says her mother called "New Year Cookies" every year
around Christmas time.
Here is the recipe she sent me when I asked her about it:
Yield 60 cookies
Ingredients
5 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons white sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 pinch ground nutmeg
1 (.25 ounce) envelope active dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water
1 1/2 cups warm milk
3 egg, lightly beaten
1 1/2 cups raisins
1 quart oil for frying
1 teaspoon melted butter
1 teaspoon warm water
1 cup confectioners' sugar
3/4 teaspoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon heavy cream
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
1. In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, salt, and nutmeg.
Dissolve the yeast in warm water.
Stir the yeast mixture, milk, and eggs into the dry ingredients until
just combined.
Fold in the raisins.
Cover and let rise for about 2 hours.
2. Heat the oil in a deep-fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
3. To prepare the glaze, mix the melted butter and 1 teaspoon warm
water in a small bowl.
Stir in the confectioners' sugar, cornstarch, cream, and vanilla.
4. Drop the dough by rounded tablespoons into the hot oil.
Cook 2 to 5 minutes, until golden brown.
Drain on paper towels and cool slightly.
Dip each cookie into the glaze and set aside to completely cool.
Note: As an alternative to the glaze, the cookies may be rolled in
sugar after they have cooled slightly.

I heard of a German cookie on last night's news called New Year's
Day German cookies; would anyone here happen to have it, or have any
idea how they are made?
