OATMEAL THUMBPRINTS

Steps:

• In a bowl, with an electric mixer on high speed, beat butter, brown sugar, egg yolk, and vanilla until smooth. Stir or beat in flour and oats until well blended.
• In a small bowl, beat egg white and 2 teaspoons water to blend. Put walnuts in a shallow bowl.

Press your thumb into the center of each cookie to make a 1/2-inch-deep indentation.
• Bake cookies in a 300° oven until lightly browned, about 15 minutes; if baking more than one pan at a time, switch pan positions halfway through baking.

Return to oven and bake until cookies are golden brown and jam has melted, about 15 minutes longer. With a wide spatula, transfer cookies to racks to cool completely.
