Is it possible to cook separated egg yolks to the texture of a hard-boiled egg yolk?

I have a tub-o-yolks in the fridge from some other cookie recipes that use whites only. While I have a lot of rich German butter cookie recipes that use only yolks, some of them require sieved hard boiled egg yolks in the dough, one of them being a jam-filled butter ring that I would like to make that also uses Verpoorten Egg Liqueur (yum).

I probably should just use up the yolks raw and boil the eggs for the recipe unless someone has any idea how this can be accomplished?

TIA.

Yes, I've done it in a saran wrap sack. Just seal / twist the top securely and simmer.

so, I have a friend who bought some of those egg cooking things, as seen on TV, where you break the

eggs into the egg shaped plastic container, then boil it up and you get shell-less hard boiled eggs. she said it worked quite well. Our walmart had them, but at $11.11 a box, I just wasn't tempted enough. anyway, if you have something that seals and can be dropped in boiling water, it should work. aren't some foodsaver bags boilable?

Thanks Marg and Ang, I'll give this a try.

I'd just poach them carefully. Our dog loves 'em. (nt)

Thanks! Sealed in plastic and simmered worked like a charm!
