I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cookies didn't spread out in the oven. They're more like little balls.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cookies didn't turn out as well as I hoped. They were a bit dry.

I'm not a huge fan of sugar cookies, but these ones are really good. They're not too sweet and they have a nice, chewy texture.

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover egg yolks. I always have a few extra yolks in the fridge and these cookies are a perfect way to use them up.

These Moravian sugar cookies are a delightful treat! They have a crispy exterior and a soft, chewy interior, and the subtle sweetness of the sugar glaze is the perfect finishing touch.
