If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.

Tip
A great way to use up those yolks! Alternatively, you could use 3 whole eggs.
If you are not a fan of citrus, you could always add nuts or chocolate chips in lieu.

These worked well gluten free. I did a straight swap for GF flour. I added a quarter tsp of xantham gum too, but I don't think that would be necessary if I disn't have any next time. My kids love a bit of cinnamon so I added that too.
GF biscuit dough is always too soft to roll or cut, so I always make a snake in baking paper and roll it around in that before slicing it up and putting it on a tray. Way easier than cutting cookies.

They will be gone by the end of the day I think 😋

wow, thanks for the recipe, these are soooo good. made them for the first time today as i had left over yolks from making smbc. i omitted the citrus and added 120g of choc chips instead. they are lovely, will be making these again for sure

Delicious. I would definitely make again. I froze them, then defrosted and cut into biscuits. I found the mixture a bit too wet so I added flour, but other than that I would definitely make again. Thanks for sharing, this will be on rotation when I make Pavola. I sprinkled its sugar prior to cooking. Easier than jam, delicious.
delicious! thanks for the recipe

Simple, easy and very quick....will do again when I have a surplus of egg yolks. I kept mine plain due to lack of citrus, but I did take up suggestions from others and put a jam drop into a centre
well.

Loved this recipe. Made for the first time yesterday. I had 6 egg yolks to use and did not want to make custard. I covered some biscuits with almond flakes, some I put lemon curd and some I put raspberry jam in and some left plain. Thank you. Will definitely make again.

Great recipe for leftover egg yolks. I used up 6 egg yolks, 190g sugar, added in choc chips and didn’t use the butterfly to cream butter and sugar. Cookies turned out great! Will definitely make again.
Egg yolk cookies...
Couple times a year I do Pavs & SMBC so this recipe comes in handy and fills up the school lunch boxes!
I change it up with whatever suits. If I don’t have enough egg yolks I throw in a whole egg, I replace the sugar with rice malt syrup, add a bit of extra flour (they don’t spread as much with the lack of sugar) then portion out with a small 4cm ‘cookie/ice cream’ scoop. Bake as is.
Love these so much!!
I’m thinking next time I’ll do lemon curd centres (Jam drops) to bowl over a good 7 egg yolks! 😍

Yum recipe, I used up 4 egg yolks, and added 160g of choc chips instead of lemon rind. Also I had no cream of tarter so used white vinegar instead. Biscuits are delicous - thanks for a great way to use up egg yolks!

Best way to use up egg yolks. Delicious, fluffy and light cookies. I added some chopped up peanuts. I originally wanted to add chopped up easter eggs but they seem to have hone missing. I would use this recipe again if i had egg yolks to use up

They tasted delicious! the only thing was that they were a little crumbly.. maybe i needed to cook a little longer. I used chocolate chips instead of lemon rind.
Definitely using this recipe again !

Delicious. I add 120 g white chocolate buds and left out the lemon. Definitely will be making them again.

OMG, thank you so much for this. I was using conventional recipe abd they turned out great, then I made them in thermomix once and they turned out even better, but I did not write down what settings I used
and found this conversion. THANK YOU!! I've been making macarons with abandons of egg yolks left

Nice biscuits. I used frozen egg yolks, just defrosted prior. Would maybe add more than 1 lemons zest next time to increase the lemon hit.
Thanks for posting.

Like the other comments, great use of egg yolks from Australia Day Pavlova!!! Used Rapadura Sugar (reduced to 160gm & might reduce further next time) then increased flour to 400gm (using 100gm Wholemeal & 300gm Plain) omitted Lemon, then decorated with Choc Chips, Dried Fruit & Cinnamon - Great result for back to school baking - Thanks!!!
