Baking with egg yolks
Description
I would like to share with you a very simple recipe for baking using egg yolks—crispy, fragrant, and incredibly tender delicious cookies. If desired, you can top them with icing or powdered sugar, for example. They can be stored for several days while remaining just as tasty. Serve warm or chilled. Perfect with tea.
