Thumbprint Cookies


3/4 c. butter, softened
1/2 c. sugar
1 egg yolk
1 1/2 c. flour
Apricot preserves

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Cream butter and sugar. Add egg yolk, mix well. Stir in the flour by hand. On a lightly floured surface, knead the cookie dough by hand for 2-3 minutes. Roll the dough into 1 inch balls and place two inches apart on a greased baking sheet. Using your pinky, make an indent in the cookie and fill with the apricot preserves. Bake for 12 minutes and cool on a wire rack.
