Cookie Gift Baskets Tip & Recipe Blog

Keep the cookies small, using no more than one teaspoon of batter per cookie, so they will bake up crunchy rather than crunchy.

• 6 large egg yolks
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 1/2 cups coarsely chopped walnuts

Preheat oven to 300° F. Place parchment paper on two ungreased baking sheets.

In a large bowl, beat the egg yolks, sugar, and vanilla with an electric mixer at high speed 4 minutes, until very thick and almost white. Add the walnuts and mix well.

Drop spoonfuls of the cookie batter 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.

Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until dry, firm, and golden brown. Cool the cookies completely on baking sheets before removing.
