Spritz Cookies IV

I didn't care too much for this recipe. I should have stuck with my usual spritz cookie recipe but I need to use up some egg yolks that I had remaining so I chose this recipe. First of all, the temperature listed is WAY too high. Even though I raised the oven rack, the bottom of my cookies got way too dark. I kept lowering the temp until I put it down to 340. That temp resulted in perfectly baked cookies. I guess my displeasure is with the texture. Kind of cakey like. No "snap" to the cookies. They almost taste like they have cream cheese in them. Kind of blah tasting. I won't make these again. BUT, after I settled on the correct temp, the cookies were very attractive.
