How To Make The Egg Yolk Cookie Dough

You’ll just need to add ingredients one by one and mix them together in stages.

As this recipe does not use butter, you can use any type of neutral-tasting oil. I have tried using rice bran oil and coconut oil. Cookies made with coconut oil will taste a little like kueh bangkit with its slightly melt-in-mouth texture.

Once the cookie dough comes together, you can either cut and bake straightaway, or keep the dough (wrapped in cling wrap). Place it in the fridge to bake later. What I like about this dough is that it’s not really sticky, so it’s quite easy to cut out shapes using cookie cutter!

What Ingredients Do I Need?

• Egg Yolks: Use medium eggs. The egg yolks should weigh about 40g in total.
• Oil: Any kind of neutral-tasting oil can be used.
• Vanilla Extract
• Salt
• Icing Sugar
• Cake Flour: If you do not have cake flour, you can also use either top or plain flour.

How Do The Egg Yolk Cookies Taste Like?

These cookies are not super crunchy or crispy types. They have a little melt-in-mouth texture – somewhat like kueh bangkit.

My kids like them a lot!

Can I Make the Dough In Advance?

Absolutely yes! You can make the dough, perhaps in the morning, chill it, before baking them in the afternoon.

The dough also freezes well, so you can keep a batch (or half) of these in your freezer, to make quick snack break for the young ones on busy days! Be sure to thaw in the fridge overnight before using : )

---

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

• 2 egg yolks (about 40g, room temp)
• 20 g oil
• 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
• A pinch of salt
• 40 g icing sugar
• 120 g cake or plain flour

---

Instructions

1. Place egg yolks into a medium mixing bowl. Add in oil and vanilla extract. Whisk well.
2. Add in icing sugar and salt. Whisk well.
3. Sift in cake or plain flour in 2 batches. Mix in a cutting motion using spatula.
4. You will see cookie dough crumbles. Using your hands, press together the crumbles and mold into a dough. If dough is too dry to mold into 1 dough, sprinkle in a little milk, by 1/4 tsp at a time.
5. You can then roll out the dough in between baking paper t0 0.4-0.5cm thickness, or keep in fridge for later, or freeze it.
6. Preheat oven to 160C. After cutting out the dough in shapes, place onto lined baking tray. Bake for about 13-16 mins, depending on dough size.
7. Once baked, cool completely on wire rack before storing in airtight container.

Notes

If you do not want your child to take too much sugar, you can reduce sugar to about 30g-35g. If you do not have cake flour, you can definitely use plain flour, the texture of the cookie won’t be as fine, however, would be still quite yummy!
