Makes 5 Dozen
5 1/2 cups (3 sticks) unsalted butter
1 cup packed light brown sugar
2 large eggs, separated
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 2/3 cups sifted all-purpose flour
2 cups finely chopped pecans
1 cup thick raspberry jam
Preheat oven to 350 Degrees F and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Cream the butter and sugar. Beat in the egg yolks, vanilla, and salt, then the flour. Shape the dough into 1-inch balls.
Brush each dough ball with beaten egg white and then roll in the chopped pecans and place 2 or 3 inches apart on baking sheets. Press the center of each ball with your thumb and fill with 1/2 teaspoon of jam.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until just golden around the edges. Cool on a rack.
