Six Egg Yolk Cookies are so good and easy. This is a great recipe to use up egg yolks. You can also make these cookies using three whole eggs. I have made these using a sugar substitute and they turned out great. Many times I make a recipe calling for egg whites and end up storing the yolks in the fridge and eventually throwing them out or scrambling them. These cookies are an alternative and a recipe to keep on hand in case you need it! This cookie goes great with coffee.
