Fantastic way to consume left-over egg yolks. These cookies are extremely good. I'd five egg yolks within the freezer and added one fresh yolk (froze the white-colored to be used afterwards). I didn't possess the extracts consider we like ginger root I made use of three dessert spoons ginger root syrup and 4 teaspoons ginger root powder. (no, they weren't too gingery whatsoever). In addition I made use of 1/2 cup butter and 1/2 cup margarine and also, since I came across which i was almost from flour I made use of two cups flour and 1/2 cup quick-cooking folded oatmeal. I acquired 52 cookies plus they baked for nearly 11 minutes. The cookies were crisp round the edge and nice soft within the center. In a nutshell, scrumptious. Thank you for posting.
I'd leftover egg yolks and did not wish to waste them and so i made these cookies but altered a couple of things. They are way full of fat and carbs. I do not consume a lot of fatty things. So, to create these reduced fat and sugar. I replaced all of the sugar with equivalent substitute sugar that doesn't cause stomach upset! I replaced 1/2 body fat with 1/2 applesauce (baby food style) and 1/2 butter. All this labored well. The cookies aren't terribly sweet that we love and also the lower fat helped me feel happier about eating these. They are filling too. Next, I plan to find away out to reduce all of the fat. Oh, and that i did not have orange extract and so i used orange zest.
I made use of 2/3 cup shortening and 1/3 butter. I additionally used 4 egg yolks and 1 whole egg. I made the dough and folded the balls in decorative colored sugar. They baked up superbly and were soft and attractive. I will be making these again whenever we have egg yolks to utilise.
