Try baking delicious homemade nut-shaped cookies. To make it, you need to purchase a special apparatus that works on the principle of a waffle iron and has semicircular indentations in order for the dough to take the desired shape.

Mix the yolks with sugar and vanilla and mash until white. Remove the oil from the refrigerator beforehand so that it softens. Chop it up and add to the yolks along with the flour. Mix thoroughly, then add whipped proteins and soda to the dough – this will give the mass a lightness.
Grease a baking dish with butter. Heat the machine, put a piece of dough in each slot and cover the mold with a lid, the bulges in it will give the liver the desired look. Bake the nuts for 2-3 minutes. Remove the finished cookie halves from the mold and cool. Repeat the operation until the dough is finished.
