Time 17m

Yield 36 Cookies

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine, softened
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 large egg, separated
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup walnuts, finely chopped
jam, any flavour (I prefer apricot jam)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a medium bowl, cream the butter with brown sugar until light and fluffy, then add the egg yolk and vanilla extract, mixing well.
  • Add the flour and salt to the creamed mixture, and mix just until the ingredients form a ball.
  • In a shallow dish, beat egg white slightly. Shape dough into 1 inch balls then roll in the egg white, then the nuts.
  • Place the cookies on an ungreased cookie sheet then bake for 5 minutes. Remove from the oven then make the indentation, then bake an additional 7 to 10 minutes.
  • Remove the cookies to a cooling rack. Once cool, fill with the jam of your choice,.
