Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 large egg, separated
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup plain yellow cornmeal
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans, lightly toasted
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • Parchment paper
  • 1/2 cup Tomato Jam

Instructions

  1. Beat butter and powdered sugar at medium speed with a heavy-duty electric stand mixer 2 to 3 minutes or until pale and fluffy. Add egg yolk and vanilla, beating until blended.
  2. Stir together flour and next 4 ingredients in a small bowl. Gradually add flour mixture to butter mixture, beating at low speed until blended after each addition.
  3. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface; knead 3 to 4 times. Shape dough into a 1-inch-thick disk. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and chill 2 to 24 hours.
  4. Preheat oven to 350 °. Stir together pecans and granulated sugar in a small bowl. Shape chilled dough into 1-inch balls. Lightly beat egg white. Dip each ball into egg white; dredge in pecan mixture. Place 1 inch apart on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Press thumb into each ball, forming an indentation.
  5. Bake at 350 ° for 10 minutes. Remove from oven, and, using back of a spoon, press indentations again. Spoon about 1/2 tsp. Tomato Jam into each indentation. Bake 8 to 10 more minutes or until golden brown. Cool on baking sheets 5 minutes; transfer to a wire rack, and cool completely. Store in an airtight container up to 4 days.
