| Thumbprint Cookies 1/4 C. soft shortening 1/4 C. brown sugar 1/4 C. butter 1/2 tsp. vanilla Mix all of the ingredients listed above well. Then add.... 1 C. flour 1/4 tsp. salt Later you will need.... 3/4 C. chopped nuts 1 slightly beated egg white Roll dough into 1 inch balls. Dip into slightly beated egg whites. Roll in finely chopped nuts (3/4 cup). Place about 1 inch apart on engrossed cookie sheet and press thumb into the middle of each cookie. Bake at 375 until set (10-12 minutes). Cool and frost or top with candied fruit or jelly. NOTE: I usually quadruple this recipe. Since the cookies to not spread (no baking soda/baking powder) you can fit a lot of cookies on one cookie sheet when baking! Makes 7-8 dozen cookies when quadrupled. |
