## Tips

- When adding the egg yolks to the pudding, you have to constantly whisk or it will curdle up and you will have lumpy pudding. You do not want lumpy pudding, you want a nice smooth consistency.
- When adding the cornstarch slurry, slowly add it in and keep whisking because it will thicken up quick.
- You can use a knife to remove the Chessman cookies from their individual trays.
