    Categories: Cookies, Nuts, Chocolate, Fruits
    Yield: 36 servings

    3/4 c Butter; softened
    1/2 c Packed brown sugar
    2 lg Eggs; separated, room temp,
    - divided use
    1 1/4 c A-P flour
    1/4 c Baking cocoa
    1 1/4 c Fine chopped pecans or
    - walnuts

    MMMMM--------------------------FILLING-------------------------------
    4 oz White baking chocolate;
    - coarse chopped
    2 tb Butter
    1/4 c Seedless raspberry jam

    In a large bowl, cream butter and brown sugar until
    light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Beat in egg yolks.
    Combine flour and cocoa; gradually add to creamed
    mixture and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for 1-2
    hours or until easy to handle.

    In a shallow bowl, whisk egg whites until foamy. Place
    nuts in another shallow bowl. Shape dough into 1" balls.
    Dip into egg whites, then roll in nuts.

    Using a wooden spoon handle, make an indentation in
    center of each cookie. Place 1" apart on greased
    baking sheets. Bake @ 350ºF/175ºC until set, 8-10
    minutes. Remove to wire racks to cool completely.

    In a microwave, melt white chocolate and butter; stir
    until smooth. Spoon about 1/2 teaspoon into each cookie.
    Top each with about 1/4 teaspoon jam. Store in an
    airtight container.
