Jam Thumbprint Cookies
INGREDIENTS
Ingredients:
2/3 cup Maple Hill Salted butter, softened to room temperature
1 ½ cup all-purpose flour
½ cup sugar
2 egg yolks
2 slightly beaten egg whites
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 ½ cups walnuts, finely chopped
PREPARATION
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 375F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy (about 1 minute).
3. Add in half the flour, sugar, egg yolks, and vanilla extract and beat until combined. Add remaining flour. Slightly press dough together to become cohesive.
4. Using a 1-inch cookie scoop, scoop dough to form balls. Roll in egg whites, then into the chopped walnuts and transfer to lined cookie sheet.
5. Press centers with your thumb and bake at 375F for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are lightly browned.
6. Allow cookies to cool before filling with jam. Makes about 18-20 cookies. Enjoy!
