Tamago boro

Tamago boro is a traditional snack originating from Japan. These cookies are made with a combination of egg yolks, sugar, starch, and milk. The yolks are mixed with sugar, cornstarch, and milk, and the dough is then kneaded until it's smooth. After it has been rolled into small balls, they are baked in a hot oven, but not so much that they become browned. If properly prepared, the cookies should melt in the mouth. Although tamago boro is a part of wagashi sweets, these cookies have a somewhat bland and neautral flavor with just a hint of sweetness. The cookies are often served during Christmas holidays in the country and they're especially popular with children.
