Alana's No-Longer-Secret Family Recipe for Thumbprint Cookies


List of Ingredients




1 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs, yolks and whites separated
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cup finely chopped nuts
8 ounces raspberry jam


Recipe



In a large bowl, mix butter, sugar, egg yolks, and vanilla until smooth. Sift together flour and salt and then work into batter.

Chill dough for at least one hour.

Preheat oven to 375. Form dough in 3/4 inch balls.
Beat egg whites in a bowl with a fork til slightly bubbly.
Roll the balls in the egg whites, then in the chopped nuts.
Place 1 inch apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake at 375 for 5 minutes. Remove cookie sheet from oven and press the back end of a wooden spoon into the centers of the cookies to form a small indent.
Return cookies to the oven; bake for 8 more minutes, or until golden brown.
Transfer cookies to a wire rack and fill with a generous dab of jam. Let cool.
