Citrus Egg Yolk Cookies Recipe

  • 1 1/2 cups white sugar
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 6 egg yolks
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon orange extract
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease or line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Beat sugar and butter together in a bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat egg yolks, vanilla extract, lemon extract, and orange extract together in another bowl. Add egg yolk mixture to butter mixture; beat well.
  3. Sift flour, baking soda, and cream of tartar together in a bowl. Stir flour mixture into butter mixture until dough is well-blended. Roll dough into walnut-size balls and place on prepared baking sheets. Press dough balls to slightly flatten.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven until golden around the edges and set, 8 to 10 minutes.
