Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease baking sheets.
- In a large bowl, cream the shortening and brown sugar. Beat in the egg yolks and vanilla extract. Gradually blend in the flour.
- In a small bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff but not dry.
- Pinch off small pieces of dough and roll into balls. Roll the balls in the beaten egg white, then in the ground almonds, and placed 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheets. With your fingers, press and indentation into the center of each ball.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes , until lightly browned in color. Fill each cookie with a dab of preserves/jelly the transfer to wire rack to cool.
- Note: We really like home made strawberry or blueberry perserves in these cookies!
