Xmas Wreaths
Most recipes for the type of cookies I am thinking of are called thumbprint cookies. Muriel called her cookies Christmas Wreaths (Xmas Wreaths). A fitting name for this season of the year.
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 egg separated
1 cup sifted flour
1 cup fine coconut or finely chopped walnuts
Strawberry jam or any red jelly
Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in slightly beaten egg yolk. Add flour. Form dough into small balls. Dip in egg white which has been slightly beaten with a fork. Gently roll in coconut or walnuts. Place on buttered cookie sheet. Press centres with finger. Bake in 300 degree oven. After 8 minutes of baking, take the cookies out of the oven and press in the centers again. Return to oven and continue baking 10 to 15 minutes longer. Cool slightly. Remove from cookie sheet and fill centres with jam or jelly while the cookies are still warm.

Please don't use the end of the glass end of the thermometer to make a thumb print in these cookies. The thermometer can easily break! Then, you would need the EPA to get rid of the toxic mercury! (One family I know had their entire kitchen replaced due to a mercury thermometer breaking in their kitchen.) Our kids and John will remember the night before Christmas years ago when we had a visit from the fire dept which was bad enough!
