Recipe Introduction
Mum (Eunice Wilson) loved to make these for the kids, who loved to make indents with their thumbs before baking. Cookies were made on the weekend and whichever kid was home got to press with his thumb. That kid got 5 cookies for himself when freshly baked! Perry and later Pat were usually the recipients of this treat

1/3 C granulated sugar
2 Egg Yolks

1/2 tsp. salt

3/4 Cup finely chopped walnuts
strawberry preserves/currant jelly or jam of your choice.
