Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/2 Cup Butter
1/4 Cup Brown sugar -- packed
1 Egg -- separated
1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla
1 Cup Flour
1/4 Teaspoon Salt
3/4 Cup Walnuts -- finely chopped
Red Currant Jelly 4 Center
Black Currant Jelly 4 Cntr
DESCRIPTION: Jelly jewels in a butter cookie nest dusted
with nuts.
Heat oven to 350. Mix butter, sugar, egg yolk and
vanilla thoroughly. Work in flour and salt until dough
holds together. Shape dough by teaspoonfuls into 1-inch
balls. Beat egg white slightly. Dip each ball into egg
white, then roll in nuts. Place 1" apart on ungreased
baking sheet. Press thumb deeply into center of each. Bake
10 minutes or until light brown. Immediately remove from
baking sheet. Fill thumbprints with jelly.
TERRY'S NOTES: I like to fill cookies while still
warm---it "melts" the jelly evenly in the hole so that it's
not a "blob" sitting there looking at you. These also
freeze beautifully if separated by layers of wax paper (so
the jelly doesn't smear) and wrapped well (or stored in
plastic containers). Betty Crocker.
