Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
In a medium bowl, cream together the butter, white sugar and egg yolks. Mix in flour a little bit at a time until a soft dough forms. Roll dough into 1 inch balls. If dough is too soft, refrigerate for 15 to 20 minutes. Place balls 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Use your finger or an instrument of similar size to make a well in the center of each cookie. Fill the hole with 1/2 teaspoon of preserves.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, until golden brown on the bottom. Remove from cookie sheets to cool on wire racks.

12/21/08 05:14 PM | a good startI took this recipes and added about a teaspoon each of vanilla and lemon extract. Leave out the thumbprint and preserves. Flatten the balls into 1" cookies and cook for 8 minutes. It tastes like a mix of shortbread and butter cookies. My kids and husband love them. |

12/12/07 08:11 PM | BoringTried adding the vanilla and substituted brown sugar for some of the white, even rolled some in chopped pecans after doing an egg wash. Used the best quality jams. Still boring. |

Here's an easy, reliable way to ensure a moist and flavorful turkey...simply baste the turkey with chicken stock during roasting. When the turkey is done, use a bit more stock to make a quick and tasty gravy.
