Brush lightly with mixture of 1 beaten egg yolk and 1 tablespoon water. Bake cookies in 250 degree oven approximately 30 minutes, until bottom of cookies begin to brown. Cookies will look pale. Cookies will be extremely soft when they come out of the oven but will begin to harden as they cool. Let stand several minutes before transferring from cookie sheet to rack.
