Thumbprint Cookies with Jelly Centres (Elsie)

Cream together: 1/2 cup margarine
                           1/4 cup brown sugar
                           1 egg yolk
                            1/2 tsp vanilla

Add  to mixture: 1 cup flour
                            1/4 tsp salt
Blend well.
 1 beaten egg white
 3/4 cup finely chopped nuts

Roll 1 tsp dough into a ball , dip it in beaten egg white, then roll into chopped nuts.
Place on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake @350 10-12 minutes. Remove from oven and immediately push the centre down with your thumb. Cool and fill the thumbprint with jelly. My personal favourite is red currant jelly.
