Ghriba Dyal Sfar L'Bid (Ghriba't Nass Rab3a)/ Egg Yolk Cookies/Petits Biscuits Aux Jaunes D'oeufs



If one day you’re faced with a bowl of leftover yolks, this is a delicious recipe to use them. I mostly double the recipe to make over 60 cookies. Feel free to add more flavour to the mixture, it's simple and a success every time I try it.
