Golden Thumbprints Recipe
  • Prep: 30 min. Bake: 15 min./batch
  • Yield: 18 Servings
30 15 45

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar blend
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 9 red or green candied cherries, halved

Directions

  • In a small bowl, beat butter and brown sugar blend until well blended. Beat in the oil, egg yolk and vanilla. Combine flour and salt; gradually add to butter mixture and mix well.
  • Shape into scant 1-in. balls. Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets; flatten slightly. Bake at 375° for 5 minutes. Remove from the oven.
  • Using the end of a wooden spoon handle, carefully make an indentation in the center of each (cookie edges will crack). Fill each with a candied cherry half. Bake 6-8 minutes longer or until edges are lightly browned. Remove to wire racks. Yield: 1-1/2 dozen.
