Carrie‘s Thimble Cookies
Ingredients
1/2C butter
1/4C brown sugar
2 eggs
1C sifted flour (I used my gluten-free flour blend listed here)
Strawberry or Raspberry Jam
Crushed walnuts, corn flakes or coconut
Directions
Cream butter.
Gradually work in the sugar.
Add one beaten egg plus one yolk and beat well. Be sure to reserve the other egg white.
Stir the flour into the egg/sugar/butter mixture and roll into small balls.
One by one dip each ball into the remaining egg white and roll into the walnuts, corn flakes or coconut.
Place on parchment lined cookie sheets.
Press down the center of each with a floured thimble (as I kid I used my thumb).
Bake for 5 minutes in pre-heated 300 degree oven.
After 5 minutes remove and once again gently press down centers that may have risen.
Place cookies back in oven for an additional 10 to 15 minutes before removing from oven.
Upon removing and while still hot, fill the centers with the jelly of your choice.
