Time 1h50m

Yield 42

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup butter or margarine, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup finely chopped roasted pistachio nuts
1 jar (12 oz) red raspberry jam
2 tablespoons powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 325°F. In large bowl, beat butter and 1/2 cup powdered sugar with electric mixer on medium speed until creamy. Stir in flour, salt, vanilla and nuts.
  • Shape dough into 1 1/4-inch balls. On ungreased cookie sheet, place balls about 1 inch apart. Press thumb into center of each cookie to make indentation, but do not press all the way to the cookie sheet.
  • Bake 15 to 17 minutes or until set but not browned. Quickly remake indentation with end of wooden spoon handle if necessary. Remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack; cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  • Fill each thumbprint with about 1 rounded teaspoonful of jam. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons powdered sugar over jam-filled centers.
