Recipes: Thumb Print Cookies

 

I remember my mom making thumb print cookies when I was wee little.

I never understood why she called them “thumbprints” when she used the head of a round peg type clothes pin to make the well for the jam.

Home made jam from the pantry make these cookies extra special.

 

Thumbprint Cookies

1 cup shortening

1 cup brown sugar

2 egg yolks – set the whites aside

2 cups flour

1 teaspoon vanilla

chopped nuts

 

Mix all ingredients together except the egg whites and nuts. Roll the dough like meatballs.
Beat the egg whites with a fork until frothy.

Roll the dough balls in the egg white and then chopped nuts. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet and put a hole in the center with a round clothes pin.

Bake at 375° for 10 minutes. Cool on a rack.

Fill the holes with strawberry (or your preferred) preserves.
