Savory Thumbprint Cookies image

Savory Thumbprints? How's that for a twist? These cookies are an APPETIZER, not a dessert cookie. They will wow your guests who will like the surprise. Back in 2004 I pulled this from Recipezaar and I've been making these ever since.

Categories     Cheese Appetizers

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 c white cheddar cheese, grated
1/2 c parmesan cheese, grated
1/2 c butter, softened
1 medium egg yolk
1/4 tsp pepper
1 c flour
1 c pecans, finely chopped
1 c hot pepper jelly (red or green)

Steps:

  • 1. In a food processor, pulse together Cheddar and Parmesan cheeses with butter, until smooth. Add egg yolk and pepper; pulse until blended. Add flour, pulse just until a soft dough forms.
  • 2. Place pecans on a plate and place 1 cup of water in a bowl. With hands, roll scant tablespoonfuls of dough into 1-inch balls. Wet balls with water and roll in pecans to coat.
  • 3. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet (I line mine with parchment for easy cleanup). With thumb or finger, make an indent in each cookie. Refrigerate for 15 minutes.
  • 4. Bake in centre of oven at 350 F for about 15 minutes or until firm outside and lightly golden. Let cool on baking sheet.
  • 5. (Can be prepared to this point and frozen in layers separated by waxed paper in an airtight container. Bake for 3 minutes to recrisp).
  • 6. Fill indentations with hot pepper jelly.

I love that these cookies are made with whole wheat flour. They're a healthier alternative to traditional thumbprint cookies.
