raspberry thumbprint cookies

i make this at christmastime every year.

raspberry thumbprint cookies
makes about 45-50 cookies

3 3/4 cups all purpose flour
1 1/3 cups butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup orange juice
1 egg yolk

NOTE: This makes a LOT of cookies! You can cut this
dough in half, use one half, and freeze the other for
another time.

Cream the butter and sugar together in a bowl. Add the egg yolk and orange juice and combine. Finally mix in the flour until a dough forms. 

Shape rounded teaspoonfuls of dough into balls. Place
1 inch apart on cookie sheets. Press thumb into
centers of cookies, making deep indentations. Bake 10
minutes in 375 ° oven.

Remove from oven, and with 1/3 cup red raspberry
preserves (or whatever flavor you prefer) fill indentations. Bake 6-7 minutes;
immediately remove and cool cookies on racks.
