Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • ½ cup salted butter
  • ¾ cup pecans
  • ¾ cup walnuts
  • 1 egg
  • 2 egg whites
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup milk
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • Apricot jelly
  • Grape jelly
  • Strawberry jelly

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl combine the soften butter and sugar. Then add the one egg, milk, and vanilla. Mix on medium speed. (reserve your egg whites until the end).
  • In a separate bowl combine the flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder.
  • Slowly add your dry ingredients to your wet ingredients. Mix on slow to medium speed.
  • Combine your walnuts and pecans in a food processer and finely chop. Then place these nuts in a small bowl. In a separate bowl place your egg whites.
  • Roll out your balls of dough to about the size of a Nickel. Then roll each ball in the egg wash first then in your nuts. Then place on a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  • Press the center of each cookie down using your thumb or pointer finger.
  • Add jelly to the center of each cookie. Alternate between jelly flavors so you have a variety of flavors. ⅓ of your cookies should be grape, ⅓ of your cookies should be strawberry, ⅓ of your cookies should be apricot. Add just enough jelly to fill your thumbprint but not enough that it is towering over the cookie.
  • Place your cookies in the fridge for one hour or the freezer for 15 minutes. Then preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
  • Take cookies straight from the fridge to the oven. Bake your cookies for 12 minutes.
  • Enjoy!
