I looked up your secret cookies. They would be good. Can't go wrong with butter and egg yolks enhance the flavor somehow. Offhand I can't think of a glass but should be able to find something. And they don't need to be rolled.
A lot of glass jars used to have that kind of pattern on the bottom; I don’t even think I have one in the house anymore, but you can get cookie stamps that make the same pattern. Or you might find one of the old jars at a thrift store.
I liked Chinese almond cookies too until one day I saw the ingredients. Lard, baby. No wonder they were so good.
