Ingredients




48 cups mini paper  liners (available in supermarkets, candy and craft stores)
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup vegetable shortening
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
2 egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups flour
Assorted jams (Little Mommies used raspberry and apricot jam, but I still like <

Preparation

1 Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Line a cookie sheet with sides with 48 mini paper cup liners.  With mixer on high speed, beat first 5 ingredients together.  Stir in flour.  Shape dough into 1-inch balls and place in paper liners.  Arrange dough on cookie sheet, placing them touching each other so that dough does not spread while cooking.  With handle of a wooden spoon, make indentation in center of each cookie.  Bake 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from oven and transfer to wire rack.  Fill each indentation with a small amount of jam while still warm.  Let cool completely.  Makes 48 cookies.
