Salted Egg Yolk Cookies

This is one of those cookies that I love and have been wanting to try baking for the longest time. Finally did it using salted egg yolk powder!

I bought the salted yolk powder from Kitchen Capers. Using this is definitely a very convenient and fuss-free way to whip up salted egg yolk bakes and dishes!

This cookie just melts-in-the mouth and is an instant hit with my family members. I'm sure it will be well received by many as well!

It's a BIG THUMBS UP! This recipe is a definite keeper!
