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.
