Thumbprint Cookies

Sorry again about the bad picture...I didn't realize that there wasn't a great picture until everyone ate all the cookies.

1/4 cup brown sugar (I was all out of brown sugar so I mixed white sugar w/ molasses)
1/4 cup shortening
1/4 cup butter, softened
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 egg yolk
1 cup flour
1/4 tsp salt
Jelly of choice (I used homemade strawberry jelly)
Heat oven to 350. Mix together everything except the flour and salt, mix until creamy. Add the remaining ingredients. Shape into balls, place on baking sheet, press thumb in each, *add enough jelly to thumbprints to fill. Back 10 minutes or until brown. PLEASE make sure to let the cookies cool before eating, the jelly will be VERY hot!!! *You can add the jelly after baking, but I preferred it baked onto the cookie.
Yields: 1-1/2 dozen
