Ingredients

  • 2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 egg plus 1 egg yolk, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup walnuts, very finely chopped
  • 1/3 cup of one of Stonewall Kitchen’s Specialty Jams, Marmalades or Fruit Butters

Directions

  1. Cream butter using a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment on medium speed. Add sugar and beat until smooth. Add the egg and egg yolk one at a time. Add vanilla and mix until incorporated.
  2. Combine flour, salt and ground walnuts in a separate bowl and whisk until uniform. Slowly add flour mixture to the butter. Mix until dough pulls away from the side of the bowl. Knead a few times on a lightly floured surface and chill dough for 1 hour.
  3. Preheat oven to 350° F and lightly grease a cookie sheet or line with parchment paper.
  4. Roll dough into 1-inch balls. Place on prepared cookie sheet 2 inches apart.
  5. Make an indentation in the center of each ball with your thumb or the handle of a wooden spoon. Fill each cookie with a generous 1/4 teaspoon of jam.
  6. Bake until edges are golden brown, about 14-15 minutes. Remove from oven and allow cookies to rest for a minute before transferring to a rack to cool. Top with additional jam if desired.
