Egg Yolk Only Butter Cookies

These egg yolk only butter cookies are a great solution to use up some of your leftover egg yolks from other cooking! 

Butter Cookies

A few weeks ago, I made sweet and sour chicken. After making that dish, I had two egg yolks left over. So I decided to bake some cookies with them.

But it only gave me 10 cookies. So, today I increased all the ingredients 2 times more to get 2 times more cookies. At the end, I only got 15 cookies (instead of 20). Lol.

Nonetheless, these butter cookies are super easy, simple and delicious to make. They are also crispy!

Hope you try them soon!

  • 180g / 6.3 ounces all purpose flour (plain flour), shifted
  • 80g / 2.8 ounces raw sugar
