1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1 large egg yolk
1 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 large egg white, fork beaten
2/3 cup nuts, finely chopped (your favourite)
6 tablespoons red jam (your favourite flavour)

  • Preheat your oven to 325 F.
  • Cream margarine and brown sugar in a large bowl. Add egg yolk and beat well.
  • Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl. Add to margarine mixture, stirring until stiff dough forms. Roll dough into balls, using 2 tsp for each.
  • Dip balls into egg white, then roll in nuts. Arrange balls, about 2 inches apart, ona greased cookie sheet. Dent each one with your thumb.
