I pulled this recipe from the obscurity of my recipe box last week. I love the nuts that roast on the edges as the cookie bakes.
1/2 c. sugar
2 large eggs, separated
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 1/2 c. flour
1 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)
1/2 cup jam (I use apricot & raspberry)
Cream butter until fluffy. Add sugar and mix again. Separate eggs, set aside the whites. Beat the yolks in with the creamed mixture and add the vanilla. Finally, mix in the flour until the dough comes together in a ball. Place chopped nuts in a bowl and the egg whites in another bowl. Roll the cookie dough in to small 1 inch balls. Roll each ball in the beaten egg whites and then in the nuts. Place on cookie sheet and make a small indentation on the top of each cookie with your thumb. Bake at 350 degrees for 15-18 minutes. Cool cookies then place a teaspoon of jam in the indentation of each cookie.
