Directions
Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
In large bowl of standing electric mixer, beat together the butter, sugar and salt until light and fluffy.
Beat in egg yolks, one at a time, and vanilla; beat until smooth.
Mix in flour gradually, stirring until just combined well.
Roll dough in to ¾-inch balls.
Dip balls in lightly beaten egg white, then in pecans.
Place about 1 inch apart on parchment-lined cookie sheets.
Using small end of a wooden spoon, depress tops of cookies to make a small thumbprint or well.
Bake in preheated oven 12 to 15 minutes, or until pale golden. Combine preserves and jelly.
While cookies are still hot, fill the depressions with preserves-jelly mixture.
Do not overfill.
