Time 55m

Yield 2 1/2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup butter, softened
1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 egg, separated
1 teaspoon lemon rind, grated
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups pecans, finely chopped
apricot jam or cherry jam

Steps:

  • Cream the butter and cream cheese. Add the egg yolk, lemon rind, and vanilla, beating well at medium speed of an electric mixer.
  • Combine the flour sugar, and salt; add to the creamed mixture, beating well. Cover and chill thoroughly.
  • Shape the dough into 1 inch balls.
  • Beat the egg white until foamy. Dip each ball of dough into the egg white; roll in the chopped pecans.
  • Place 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. (I use parchment paper for easy clean up). Press your thumb into each ball of dough, leaving an indention.
  • Bake at 325 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes or until lightly browned. Transfer cookies to a wire rack and fill each cookie with jam. Let cool completely.
