Whip up delightful lemon thumbprint cookies for your loved ones!
Ingredients:
  • 1 cup butter or margarine, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 egg yolk, reserving egg white
  • 3 tablespoons ReaLemon® lemon juice from concentrate
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt
  • 2.25 cups unsifted flour
  • 1 egg white
  • 2 cups finely chopped nuts
  • 0.25 cup sugar
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 tablespoon ReaLemon® lemon juice from concentrate
  • 1 drop Yellow food coloring
Instructions:
  • Mix together all ingredients except egg white, flour, nuts, and Lemon Cheese Filling until well combined using a mixer. Then, blend in the flour and wrap the dough in plastic wrap.
  • Refrigerate for a minimum of 1 hour.
  • Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls, lightly beat the egg white with a mixer. Dip the balls into the egg white, then roll them in nuts. Place the balls 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets. Press your thumb deep into the center of each cookie, and fill with Lemon Cheese Filling.
  • Bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit in a preheated oven for around 10 minutes or until the filling sets. Let it cool briefly before transferring from baking sheets. Store tightly covered in the refrigerator.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, sugar, egg yolk, ReaLemon®, and a drop of yellow food coloring (optional). Beat until smooth and well blended.
