We wish we could share a treat"Thumbprint cookies with crushed walnuts and blueberry jam" with you in person, but since we can't here is a recipe you can make at home.

Thumbprint Cookies

  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 egg, separated
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup finely chopped nuts, optional
  • Jelly or jam

 

Step one

Cream together sugar, butter, vanilla and egg yoke. Stir in flour until dough sticks together and is uniform.

Step two

Roll dough into one-inch balls.

Step three

Lightly beat egg white.

Step four

Dip balls of dough into egg whites and then nuts (optional). Place on baking sheet.

Step five
