Cost Breakdown
Critical Success Points
- • Creaming the butter and egg yolks until smooth – creates the base texture.
- • Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes – prevents spreading and makes shaping easy.
- • Do not over‑bake; cookies should stay pale and just cracked on top.
Safety Warnings
- • Handle the hot oven tray with oven mitts to avoid burns.
- • Raw egg yolks are safe for most people, but pregnant individuals should ensure eggs are pasteurised.
