Thumbprint Cookies

Craving a sweet treat? Try these delicious Thumbprint Cookies! They’re perfect for satisfying your cookie cravings.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 2/3 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large egg yolks
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup finely chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts or pecans)
• 1/2 cup fruit preserves (e.g., raspberry or apricot)

Directions:

. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg yolks and vanilla extract, mixing well.
. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.
. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls. Roll each ball in the chopped nuts, making sure they are coated evenly. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, making a thumbprint indentation in the center of each cookie.
. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
. Remove the cookies from the oven and immediately fill the thumbprint indentations with your favorite fruit preserves.
. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy these sweet and nutty thumbprint cookies with a hot cup of tea or coffee! Perfect for any time of the day
