Tips:
- Use room temperature butter: This will help the cookies mix together more easily and will result in a more tender cookie.
- Do not overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and will also help to prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
- Bake the cookies until the edges are golden brown: The cookies are done baking when the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.

Resurrection cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make cookie that is perfect for any occasion. They are a great way to use up leftover egg yolks, and they can be made ahead of time and stored in the freezer. When you are ready to serve them, simply thaw them at room temperature and enjoy!
