But these crunchy, nutty cookies are absolutely wonderful. A hit of
raspberry or strawberry jam in the pushed-down center gives them a
holiday look and touch of sweetness. (Or try chopped almonds with orange
marmalade or peach jam.) These are some of the easiest cookies in the
world to make -- but they don't look it. An elegant addition to your
next cookie tray!
Directions: Cream
butter, sugar, egg and vanilla together, then gradually mix in flour
and salt. (Your dough will be quite firm.) Shape into balls, roll in
chopped nuts and use your thumb to press down the center of the ball
down deeply. Bake at 350 degrees on a greased cookie sheet approx. 12-15
min, until lightly browned. Let cookies cool, then fill with jam.
