Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter room temperature
- 6 hard boiled egg yolks
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
Chocolate Glaze
- 6 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
Crumb
- 10 oz wafers
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter on medium speed for 2-3 minutes.
- Meanwhile, press the cooked egg yolks through a fine mesh sieve to create a powder-like consistency.
- Add the egg yolks and sour cream to the butter and mix until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour and baking powder. Add it gradually to the creamed butter, mixing until well incorporated.
- Portion out the dough with a tablespoon or small cookie scoop. Roll each cookie into a ball and place on the baking sheet about half an inch apart.
- Bake the cookies for 30-35 minutes. Allow them to cool completely on a wire rack.
- In a small saucepan, combine all the ingredients for the chocolate glaze. Whisk over medium-low heat together until melted and smooth. Set the glaze aside to cool slightly.
- In a food processor, pulse the wafers into crumbs.
- Dip each cookie into the chocolate glaze to fully coat, then dredge in the crushed wafers. Repeat until all the cookies are coated. Let the glaze fully set, then enjoy!
