    • 🥚 1 large egg, separated, divided
    • 🧈 ½ cup butter, softened
    • 🟫 ¼ cup packed brown sugar
    • 1 cup all-purpose flour
    • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 🧂 ¼ teaspoon salt

STEPS

Gather ingredients.

2

Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Grease two cookie sheets and set aside.

3

Whisk egg white in a small bowl. Place chopped walnuts in another small bowl.

4

Cream butter, brown sugar, and egg yolk in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.

5

Add flour, vanilla, and salt; mix until well combined.

Scoop dough into 1 ½-inch balls. Dip in egg white, then roll in walnuts until coated. Place 2 inches apart on the prepared cookie sheets.

7

Bake in the preheated oven until slightly puffed, about 5 minutes.

Remove cookies from the oven. Use your thumb or the end of a wooden spoon to gently press an indent in the center of each cookie. Spoon jam into each thumbprint, filling it to the brim.
