Delicate Egg Yolk Cookies – crumbly, golden brown, and simply irresistible!

Sometimes, no elaborate baking is required – just a bit of butter, egg yolks, and love. These little cookies truly melt in your mouth.

Why they are special:
Cooked egg yolks make the dough incredibly fine and crumbly. The aroma while baking evokes childhood memories and fresh vanilla.

Ingredients:
🔺 3 cooked egg yolks (passed through a sieve)
🔺 100 g (≈ 7 tbsp) sour cream
🔺 80 g (≈ 5 ½ tbsp) soft butter
🔺 70 g (≈ 6 tbsp) powdered sugar
🔺 8 g (≈ 1 tbsp) vanilla sugar
🔺 1 pinch of salt
🔺 220–240 g (≈ 1 ¾ cups) flour
🔺 1 tsp baking powder

For coating:
🔺 3 tbsp (≈ 30 g) powdered sugar
🔺 2 tbsp (≈ 15 g) cocoa

Highlights:
– The yolk dough becomes velvety and golden yellow.
– Let it rest briefly in the freezer.
– Bake for 20 minutes at 180 °C.
– Roll in cocoa-sugar mixture while still hot – twice if necessary.

Result:
Tender, light, fragrant – the pastry crumbles between your fingers and dissolves instantly in your mouth. One bite – and you will want more.

Thank you for watching and enjoy baking!
