These cookies are a great way to use up leftover egg yolks. I always have a few leftover after I make meringue or mayonnaise.

I'm going to try making these cookies with different spices next time. I think they would be delicious with cardamom or nutmeg.

I accidentally added too much cinnamon to the dough. The cookies were still good, but they were a bit too spicy for my taste.

I didn't have any orange zest, so I used lemon zest instead. It worked just as well.

I found the dough to be a bit sticky, but it was still easy to work with. I just had to flour my hands a bit more than usual.
