Italian Hard Boiled Egg Yolk Cookies

Italian Hard Boiled Egg Yolk Cookie has a romantic love story behind. An Italian pastry chef fell in love with Miss Marguerite. When he was making the cookies, he would silently recite her name and press his thumb on the cookies. This love handprint cookie is made of simple ingredients, and the aroma of the egg yolk is the soul of it. It is so crispy that you can’t stop after a bite! Thanks Adviser Ms Michelle Tsang for her recipe.
