I just can't get away from cookie baking. One of the young women at my branch just got a temporary promotion, so I decided to bring in a batch of Thumb-print cookies to celebrate. Unfortunately, it was on the same day that one of our customers brought in a dozen cupcakes for us. Both did eventually get consumed. I started telling one of our pages about the Recipe Challenge and how some of the recipes have been recycled, and she responded, ¨oh you should definitely keep this one¨. This is another one from Trent's mom and it is fairly similar to Modie's icebox cookies. I had apricot jam on hand, so that was what I used, but other flavors would be just as good.
Thumb-print Cookies
- 1 stick butter
- 1/2 c. brown sugar
- 1 c. flour
- 1 egg, separated
- 1/2 t. vanilla
- chopped nuts
Cream butter and sugar, then add egg yolk and vanilla, mixing well. Mix in flour. Form nut sized balls and roll in 1 slightly beaten egg white, then in chopped nuts. Bake on greased cookie sheet for 5 min. at 375. Make a thumb print indentation in the center of each cookie and bake 8 minutes longer. When cool, fill indentation with powdered sugar icing or jam.
