My mom always made these for neighbor gifts during Christmas, I love making them too:)
½ cup packed brown sugar
½ cup shortening
½ cup butter (softened)
½ teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs yolks (keep eggs whites for later use)
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup finely chopped nuts
Jelly
Heat oven to 350. Mix together brown sugar, shortening, butter, vanilla and egg yolks. Stir in flour and salt until dough holds together, shape into balls.
Beat egg whites slightly. Dip each ball into egg white; roll in nuts. Press thumb deeply in center of each. Bake until light brown about 10 minutes. Remove from cookie sheet; cool. Fill thumbprints with jelly.
