This was my Grandmother's recipe. I now make these using my thumb instead of a thimble. I like to use raspberry jam as well as strawberry jam.
Ingredients
- 1 c butter
- 1/2 c sugar
- 4 egg yolks
- 1 t. vanilla
- 2 c flour
- 1/4 c strawberry jam
How to Make Thimble Cookies
- 1Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
In a medium mixing bowl cream butter and sugar,
throughly beat in yolks and vanilla with a wooden spoon,gradually add flour until blended. Chill. Shape dough into 1 inch balls .Place balls 1 1/2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets.Using a lightly floured thimble,press a small hole about 1/4 inch deep in the top of each cookie. Fill each hole with jam.Bake in preheated oven until browned on bottom but not on top about, 25 mins. Remove to wire racks to cool. Store in tightly covered tin box.
