My Sister's Raspberry Thumbprints

These cookies are amazing.  Buttery with nuts and delicious raspberry preserves in the center.  My sister makes them every year for the holidays and everyone looks forward to having them.  They are truly a family favorite.

 

Ingredients

1 Lb Butter

4 Eggs, separated

4 Cups Flour

1 Cup Sugar

1 tsp Vanilla

2 Cups Walnuts, chopped

Raspberry Preserves (Small Jar)

 

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350º

In the bowl of a stand mixer, mix butter, sugar, egg yolks and vanilla until they are light and fluffy.  

Add the flour and continue mixing until all the ingredients are combined.
