Minced Egg Yolk

Add the egg yolk to a plastic or glass mixing bowl and microwave to cook until solid.

Mince the egg yolk with a fork. You can push it through a strainer if you like. Put aside until use.

Cookies

Preheat oven to 350F and line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper.

Sift the flour and corn starch and set aside until use.

Cream the butter and icing sugar.

Add the flour and minced egg yolk to the butter mixture and use a rubber spatula to mix well.

Place the mixture on a lightly floured surface. Roll out the dough to about 3mm thickness. Cut out the cookie shapes with a round cookie cutter.

Place on prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes or until the tops are lightly browned. Remove from oven and place on a wire rack.
