Thumbprint Cookies Recipe

🧂 Ingredients

• 1/2 cup 1 stick butter or margarine
• 1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
• 1 egg
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• Bite-size chocolate candy

  your favorite flavor of jam or jelly, or walnut/pecan pieces

Instructions

• 1 Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with
  parchment paper or greasing it lightly.
• 2 In a medium mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, chopped walnuts, and
  salt. Whisk the ingredients until evenly distributed.
• 3 In a separate large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the
  butter and brown sugar until the mixture becomes light and airy.
• 4 Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Beat thoroughly until
  well combined. Gradually incorporate the dry flour mixture into the wet
  ingredients, mixing until a cohesive dough forms.
• 5 Scoop small portions of dough and roll them into 1-inch balls. Arrange the dough
  balls on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring sufficient space between each one.
  Gently press the center of each ball with your thumb to create a small
  indentation.
• 6 Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or
  until the edges of the cookies turn golden brown. Once baked, transfer the
  cookies to a cooling rack.
• 7 While the cookies are still warm, fill the indentations with your choice of
  chocolate candy, jam, jelly, or nut pieces. Allow the cookies to cool completely
  at room temperature before serving. Enjoy these delightful treats!
