½ cup granulated sugar
3 large egg yolks
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 ½ cups all purpose flour
2 tsp cornmeal
¼ tsp salt
¼ cup chopped walnuts, finely chopped
½ cup apricot jam (or your favourite)
- Preheat oven to 350F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. With electric mixer, beat together butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in egg yolks and vanilla until smooth.
- Combine flour, cornmeal and salt and add to butter mixture until blended. Shape teaspoonfuls of dough into balls and roll in chopped nuts. Place cookies 1 inch apart on prepared baking sheets. Press centres of cookies down with your thumb and bake 15 to 18 min or until golden.
