Walnut Thumbprints

My mother, the non-cook and non-baker, used to make these cookies as the one thing she could actually bake. They are completely delicious.

Ingredients:
1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1 egg, room temperature
1 tsp vanilla
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt

Filling:
1 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cups brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup sour cream

Directions:
In a mixing bowl, cream butter and brown sugar. Beat in egg and vanilla. Combine flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the creamed mixture. Refrigerate 30mins.

Roll dough into 1 inch balls. Place 2 inches apart on greased baking sheet. Using the end of a wooden spoon handle, make an indention in the center of each ball.

Combine filling ingredients; spoon about 1 teaspoonful into each cookie.

Bake at 350 for 11-13 minutes until lightly browned. Cool for 5 mins before removing to wire racks.
