When I pass around the cookie tray, all eyes land on these fancy thumbprints. The white chocolate filling and dab of jewel-toned jam will satisfy the most discriminating sweet tooth. Ingredients:
3/4 cup butter, softened |
1/2 cup packed brown sugar |
2 eggs, separated |
1-1/4 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/4 cup baking cocoa |
1-1/4 cups finely chopped pecans or walnuts |
filling: |
4 ounces white baking chocolate, coarsely chopped |
2 tablespoons butter |
1/4 cup seedless raspberry jam |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg yolks. Combine flour and cocoa; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for 1-2 hours or until easy to handle.
2. In a shallow bowl, whisk egg whites until foamy. Place nuts in another shallow bowl. Shape dough into 1-in. balls. Dip in egg whites, then roll in nuts.
3. Using a wooden spoon handle, make an indentation in center of each cookie. Place 1 in. apart on greased baking sheets. Bake at 350° for 8-10 minutes or until set. Remove to wire racks to cool.
4. In a microwave, melt white chocolate and butter; stir until smooth. Spoon about 1/2 teaspoon into each cookie. Top each with about 1/4 teaspoon jam. Store in an airtight container. Yield: about 3 dozen.
