Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Beat butter and sugar together until smooth and creamy, add egg yolk and orange juice, mix in flour until just blended - dough will be crumbly.

Shape rounded teaspoonfuls of dough into balls. Place 1 inch apart on cookie sheets. Press thumb into the center of each cookie, making a deep indentation.

Bake 10 minutes. Remove from oven, and with 1/3 cup red raspberry preserves fill indentations. Return to oven for 5 minutes, then immediately remove and cool cookies on wire racks.

Note on cooking times: Be careful if you use those high tech nonstick pans - these cookies will burn much faster on those. If you use that kind, reduce the oven temp about 10-15 F and keep a close eye on your cooking time. I
always have to really watch that first batch with these to get the cooking time just right.

*You can vary this recipe by using different flavored preserves. I have used blackberry, strawberry, mixed berry and boysenberry all with excellent results.


NOTE: This makes a LOT of cookies! You can cut this dough in half, use one half, and freeze the other for another time.
