2 cups Flour
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1 cup butter
3 large eggs, separated
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
2 cups finely chopped pecans
1 cup Preserves or Jam, any flavor
Preheat oven to 350°.
Spray two baking sheets with Crisco No-Stick Spray.
In a large mixing bowl, beat brown sugar, Crisco, egg yolks, vanilla and salt.
Slowly add the flour and stir until well blended.
In a small bowl, using a fork, beat egg whites until foamy.
Put pecans in a separate bowl.
Using a teaspoon, scoop out dough and shape into 1-inch balls.
Dip each dough ball into the egg whites, then roll in the pecans and place on a prepared baking sheet.
Using a teaspoon or your thumb, make a round indentation in the top of each cookie,
being sure not to make a hole all the way through the dough.
Bake cookies for 8 minutes (they will not be fully baked);
remove from oven.
Using a teaspoon or other small spoon, scoop the preserves into the indentation of each cookie.
Return cookies to oven to bake another 6-9 minutes, or until lightly browned.
Remove from oven.
