Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter softened
- ¼ cup light brown sugar packed
- 1 large egg divided
- ½ teaspoon almond extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup chopped peanuts
- 3 Tablespoons red jelly
- 3 Tablespoons green jelly
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, blend butter, sugar, egg yolk and almond extract. Add in flour and salt until completely combined. Shape dough into 1 inch balls.
- In a small bowl, whisk egg white until frothy. Place chopped nuts into a separate small bowl.
- Dip each ball into egg white then roll in nuts (pressing gently so they stick). Place on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Using thumb, gently press the center of each cookie to make an indent. Place about a teaspoon of jelly into each indent.
- Bake in a 350 degree oven for 12-14 minutes, until nuts begin to brown. Cool completely.
Notes
- When it comes to jelly, less is more in this recipe. One teaspoon may not sound like a lot, but I promise you it's plenty for each cookie. Too much jelly will spill out and burn as the cookies bake.
- To make evenly shaped cookies, use a tablespoon to evenly measure the dough into one inch balls. You can also use a food scale, if you have one.
- Once cooled, transfer the thumbprint cookies to an airtight container. They'll keep well at room temperature for about 5 days.
- These are such fun Christmas cookies for the kids to help with! They will love making the thumbprints and spooning in the jam.
