October is Cookie Month

Who wouldn’t like to eat more cookies, especially in October? The weather is cooling down, making baking more appealing, and all of the best flavors like pumpkin and cinnamon are starting to pop up.

To celebrate Cookie Month, enjoy this recipe for Egg Yolk Cookies. We get a lot of questions about what to do with extra yolks after the whites have been used in meringues or other desserts. This recipe only uses egg yolks, which give these cookies a full, creamy flavor. With pumpkin pie spice and brown sugar, they also celebrate the best flavors of the season.
