These cookies have a bit of
crunch from the finely chopped pecans, sweetness from the almond
extract, and richness from the
butter. Strawberry and peach
jams make beautiful jewel-colored fillings, but you can use other
Southern favorite jams, such
as blackberry, muscadine, or
apple. They’re the perfect cookies to make with the kids―let them make
the thumbprints and choose
the filling.
