I am making cookies that only call for 4 egg whites. Now I have 4 egg yolks and I don’t have any idea what to do with them.
I can keep them until Saturday and put them in my Christmas Stuffing but is there anything else I can do with them when there isn’t a holiday?
Thanks for the help. I am sure I will try those recipes. Hubby said I could just cook them up for him for breakfast but I don’t like giving him too many eggs.
Thanks again.

Make an effective facial. Though the egg yolk face conditioner dates back to Roman times (and the Romans were quite serious about external good looks), there seems to be modern evidence suggesting egg yolks can heal the skin in a way nothing else can replicate. The Resources takes you to an exact how-to on making an egg yolk product for your skin.

Feed them to your dog. Some people feel egg whites aren’t good for dogs, but most agree egg yolks are excellent for them. If you have organic eggs or are positive the eggs have no chance of any food poisoning (for example, would you eat them raw yourself), then mix the yolks raw in with your dog’s food to give her some raw food enzymes. Otherwise, cook them as you would scrambled eggs.

Make a hair treatment. Egg yolk is known for conditioning and even restoring hair growth. Wash your hair in the shower, coat wet scalp and hair with egg yolks and cover with plastic shower cap. Wrap with a towel and step out of the shower for 45 minutes. The towel gives a little more helpful warmth, but not so much the egg is cooked onto your hair. Then step back and rinse it thoroughly out of your hair.

And now for my own personal health nut comment;
Their egg yolks ! Like over 1100 grams of unhealthy artery clogging. Yeah, I love egg yolks, but I might just toss em. Only 10 cents or less an egg…
