How to Make Huszarcsok Hussar's Kisses

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) of softened real butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 1 egg yolk and 1 whole egg until well combined.
  3. Gradually add 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and chill for at least 45 minutes (or up to 2 hours).
  5. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into walnut-sized balls (about 1 inch in diameter).
  6. Place the balls onto ungreased baking sheets. Using a clean pencil, chopstick or your finger, make a deep indentation in the center of each cookie.
  7. In a small bowl, lightly beat the remaining 1 egg white. Brush the cookies with the egg white and sprinkle with chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts, pecans, or almonds).
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Let cool completely on the baking sheets.
  9. Once cooled, gently fill the indentations with your favorite jam (apricot, raspberry, or plum are recommended).
