Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 7

½ cup butter
⅓ cup white sugar
⅓ cup dark corn syrup
1 egg, separated
1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 cup finely chopped walnuts
1 cup any flavor fruit jam

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and sugar. Stir in the corn syrup and egg yolk. Gradually stir in the flour until fully incorporated. Cover and chill for at least 1/2 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Lightly grease baking sheets.
  • Roll dough into 1 inch balls, dip them in the egg white, then roll them in the nuts. Place cookies on the prepared cookie sheet 2 inches apart. Using your finger, make an indention in the center of each cookie.
  • Bake for 20 to 25 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden. Fill each indention with a small amount of jam while cookies are still warm. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheets.
