Indulge in delectable Thumbprint Cookies filled with your choice of apricot, raspberry, or mint jelly. This fail-proof recipe features a buttery shortbread dough rolled in chopped almonds for a delightful crunch. Perfectly balanced sweetness allows the jam to shine. A nostalgic treat that tastes just like grandma’s.
Ingredients:
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup shortening
  • 1/4 cup butter or margarine, softened
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 egg, separated
  • 1 cup Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup finely chopped nuts
  • Jelly
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Combine the brown sugar, shortening, butter, vanilla, and egg yolk in a medium bowl. Mix in the flour and salt until a cohesive dough forms.
  • Roll the dough into 1-inch balls. Gently beat the egg white. Dip each ball into the egg white, then coat with nuts. Arrange the balls 1 inch apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Press your thumb deeply into the center of each ball.
  • Bake for approximately 10 minutes until golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack immediately. Allow to cool completely for about 30 minutes. Fill thumbprints with jelly.
