They soften a little when stored. They are much lower in fat due to the use of yoghurt instead of most of the butter or oil. As a result, it is important not to over bake the cookies. You can substitute a jumbo egg for the pasteurised egg whites if making the cookies. For the cookie dough truffles, the pasteurised egg whites are a safer option, if salmonella is a concern.
