How to bake shortbread cookies with yolks? Prepare your ingredients. Take good quality butter, since the taste of the cookies will depend on its taste. For flavor, you can add a little vanilla, cinnamon or lemon zest. You can make chocolate chip cookies by adding a little cocoa. Remove the butter from the refrigerator in advance, cut into pieces and leave at room temperature. Turn on the oven to 200 degrees in advance.
