Buttery soft cookies rolled in nuts and filled with jam are the perfect addition to any cookie tray!
Share:
Ingredients
- ¼ cup unsalted butter softened
- ¼ cup shortening
- ¼ cup brown sugar firmly packed
- 1 egg divided
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour all purpose
- pinch salt
- 1 cup finely chopped walnuts
- raspberry jam seedless
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Cream butter, shortening and brown sugar until fluffy. Add egg yolk and vanilla. (Set egg white aside in a small bowl.)
- Combine flour and salt and add in a little at a time to the wet mixture until incorporated.
- Divide dough into 20 pieces and roll into balls. Beat egg white in a small bowl. Dip each cookie dough ball in the egg whites and then into the nuts, pressing to adhere.
- Place each ball of dough about 2″ apart on an ungreased baking sheet. Use the end of a spoon or your thumb to make an indentation in each cookie. Seal any cracks that form on the sides. Freeze 15-20 minutes.
- Bake 16-18 minutes or until set. Remove from the oven and use the back of a ½ teaspoon to press the indents again if needed.
- Fill indents with jam. Cool completely.
Notes
- Chop nuts finely, a food processor works best. They will stick to the cookie better.
- When pressing the indent, the cookies will crack a little bit on the edges. Use your fingers to form them into shape.
- Don't skip freezing the cookies or they will spread too much.
- The indent will rise a bit so you may need to press it again before you fill them. The back of a measuring spoon works well.
- Warm the jam slightly to make it easier to spoon or pour.
- If your jam has seeds, heat/melt it in the microwave and run it through a small sieve if you'd like.
