Th' recipe ye be searchin' for be found 'ere.

Strawberry Thumbprints

Ingredients:

2/3 c butter

1/3 c sugar

2 eggs, seperated

1 tsp vanilla

1/2 tsp salt

1 1/2 c flour

1/3 c strawberry preserves

Cream th' butter an' th' sugar.

Add yolks in the mixture.

Add the vanilla, salt, and flour into the mixture.

The egg whites ortin' ta be beaten, nay whipped t' th' point 'ere ye want t' call them Kunta Kinte, like me first mate decided t' do.

Make 1 inch balls ou' o' th' dough an' dip them in t' th' egg whites.

Now, ye need t` be pressin` a thumb in t` yer cookies. If ye nay be havin` a thumb, like me ship`s physician, any finger be doin` ye well.

Bake at 350 for 15-17 minutes.

Now, normally, after th' cookies cooled, ye`d put th' strawberry preserves on top. Well, either through me first mate whippin' so much air in t' th' egg whites, or me nay turnin' on th' o'en fer 10 minutes after they be in thar, these cookies wouldna release the'r hold from th' cookie sail. They do make a nice strawberry shortcake type deal, tho!

Yield: 16 cookies, kind of.
