Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Line 2 large cookie sheets with parchment paper or lightly grease and set aside.
- In a food processor combine cheeses and butter.
- Cover; process until well combined.
- Add egg yolk and 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper; cover and process until combined.
- Add flour; pulse several times until a soft dough forms; set aside. (Or in a bowl beat butter with electric mixer 30 seconds; beat in cheeses until well combined.)
- Beat yolk and pepper until combined.
- Add flour; beat until soft dough forms.)
- In a small bowl, combine egg white and water.
- Place pecans in a shallow dish.
- Shape dough into 3/4-inch balls.
- Roll balls in egg white mixture, then in pecans.
- Place 1 inch apart on prepared cookie sheets.
- Press your thumb into center of each ball, reshaping as necessary. Bake about 15 minutes or until edges are firm and cookies are lightly golden.
- Press puffed centers down using the rounded side of a measuring teaspoon.
- Transfer to a wire rack and let cool.
- Just before serving, place a small amount of jelly in the center of each thumbprint.
- Store unfilled in refrigerator up to 3 days or in the freezer up to 3 months.
- Fill with jelly before serving.
- I made this recipe Christmas 2005 and 2007and everybody raved about it!. They are best when made fresh, but if you have to make ahead, just be sure to bring these “cookies” to room temperature before serving for full flavor.
- Makes a nice presentation!
