Thumbprint Cookies

1/2 cup butter, room temperature

1/4 cup white sugar

1 large egg (put yoke in dough and leave the white in a dish)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup (140 grams) all purpose flour

1/8 teaspoon salt

3/4 cup chopped pecans

In a seperate bowl combine flour and salt. In your mixing bowl cream, with a mixer, the butter and sugar together for a couple of minutes. Once it's fluffy, add in egg yoke and vanilla. Then slowly combine the flour to the mixture. Once it's all mixed roll dough into one inch balls. Roll balls into egg white, then into the pecans.

Bake at 350 degrees for 5 minutes. Remove from oven to make thumbprint and place back in oven for another 7-8 minutes.

Once cookies have cooled, put either jam or frosting into the thumbprints. YUMMY!
