The ingredients for Egg Yolk Cookies are:

1 cup (two sticks) butter, softened
8 ounces neufchatel (or low fat cream) cheese, softened
3 cups sugar

12 egg yolks
2 T lemon juice
1 tsp orange extract
2 tsp vanilla extract

3 cups unbleached white flour
2 cups whole wheat flour
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp cream of tartar

Here is how you make Egg Yolk Cookies:

Cream butter, neufchatel cheese, and sugar in large mixer bowl.In a seperate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, extracts, and lemon juice.In (yet another!) bowl, whisk together the remaining dry ingredients.Add egg yolk mixture to mixer bowl and mix until thouroughly combined. Add dry ingredients, mixing until just combined (don't over-beat the mix!) At this point, if you want to, I suppose that you can chill the dough and then roll it into walnut sized balls, roll the balls into sugar, and then proceed with baking directions below.Oh! Make sure that you use parchment paper on your cookie sheets. If you don't have any, be sure to spray them with cooking spray. What I did was this: use a small ice cream or cookie scoop (mine is really small - about an inch and a half on the open side) to scoop out even sized blobs of dough. When the cookie sheet is full, pour some sprinkles, colored sugar, or demerrera sugar into a small bowl, pick up the blobs, one at a time, and dip the tops into the sprinkles, then place bake on the cookie sheet. Use your fingers to slightly flatten each cookie. Bake at 350 degrees until slightly browned on the bottom and edges. The original recipe said to bake these for 8-10 minutes. I'm not sure if it's because of the (many) changes I made, or if my oven temperature is off, but mine took 16-18 minutes to brown. So check the first batch often after 10 minutes and see how your oven cooks them!Serving Size: MAkes 90-100 cookies Number of Servings: 100Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user CASERET.
