Directions
Put the nuts in a small baking pan and toast in a preheated 350℉ (180℃) F oven about 7 to 10 minutes, or until the skins start to crack.
Cool slightly and put into a kitchen towel; rub together to remove the skins.
Cool completely.
Process in a food processor until finely ground.
Set aside.
Sift together the flour, cocoa and salt; set aside.
With an electric mixer cream together the butter and sugar until fluffy.
Add the egg, egg yolk and vanilla; mix to blend.
Slowly add the flour mixture in 3 additions, beating well after each addition.
Add the nuts, mixing until well blended.
Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place on 2 ungreased baking sheets.
Make an indentation with your thumb in the center of each cookie.
Spoon a little of the raspberry preserves into the indentations.
(It is easiest to use a ¼ teaspoon measuring spoon.)
Bake in a preheated 350℉ (180℃) F oven 12 minutes.
Transfer to wire racks to cool.
Just before serving, sift the powdered sugar lightly over the cookies.
NOTES : The cookies can be frozen without the powdered sugar.
Defrost and dust with the sugar just before serving.
