THUMBPRINT COOKIES Nut-rich ... the thumb dents filled with sparkling jelly.
I’m as delighted with this quaint addition to our cooky collection, from Ken MacKenzie, as is the collector of old glass when a friend presents her with some early thumbprint goblets.
Mix together thoroughly ...
- ½ cup soft shortening (half butter)
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 egg yolk
- ½ tsp. vanilla
Sift together and stir in ...
- 1 cup sifted GOLD MEDAL Flour
- ¼ tsp. salt
Roll into 1″ balls. Dip in slightly beaten egg whites. Roll in finely chopped nuts (¾ cup). Place about 1″ apart on ungreased baking sheet. Bake 5 min. Remove from oven. Quickly press thumb gently on top of each cooky. Return to oven and bake 8 min. longer. Cool.
