Leftover Eggyolk Chocolate Chip Cookies

Leftover Eggyolk Chocolate Chip Cookies –  Made some meringue cookies or angel food cake and have sme leftover egg yolks? Don’t let them go to waste, make these chocolate chip cookies!

So I found myself with 3 leftover egg yolks from making another recipe – Dot Cake Cups – that only called for the egg whites, but I didn’t want to waste the egg yolk.

I decided to experiment with some chocolate chip cookies because there is nothing better than smelling and eating fresh chocolate chip cookies straight out of the oven.

This is a simple recipe and great for the kids to help with too since it’s summer break and I know those kids are home with you!

Leftover Eggyolk Chocolate Chip Cookies

• 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, melted
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 3 eggs yolks
• 2 tsp vanilla
• 1 1/2 cups flour
• 2 tsp baking soda
• pinch of salt
• 1/2 cups chocolate chips

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Mix in the egg yolks and vanilla.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Add the flour mixture to the large bowl and mix until completely combined. Fold in the chocolate chips. 

Let the cookie dough rest in the fridge for about 20 minutes before rolling into balls.

Roll into large sized balls and place on a cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheet.

This recipe can be done completely by hand mixing, no mixer required.
