This is the ONLY thumbprint I will make. I tried other recipes and this one is the best. The cream cheese keeps the cookies from being dry and cracking. They look as good as they taste Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter, softened |
1/2 cup shortening |
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese |
1 cup sugar |
2 cups flour |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
3/4 cup of finely chopped walnuts |
2 egg whites, beaten |
1 (10 ounce) jar apricots or 1 (10 ounce) jar raspberry jam |
Directions:
1. Cream the Butter, Shortening Cream cheese, sugar and vanilla until light and fluffy.
2. Mix flour and salt in a separate bowl.
3. Add flour mixture in small batches to the butter mixture mixing well.
4. Chill dough for 2-3 hours.
5. Roll into 1”balls dip in egg white and roll in chopped nuts.
6. Fill with Raspberry or Apricot Jam.
7. Bake at 350 for 10-13 minutes.
