Enjoy a Radnich Family Favorite!

Angel Thumbprint Cookies

2 cups soft butter
1 1/3 cup brown sugar, packed (I substiture Splenda Brown Sugar, but can't remember the proportions)
4 egg yolks
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoon vanilla
4 cups sifted flour
4 egg whites, unbeaten
2 cup chopped nuts (I like pecans, but anything would probably be ok)
jam or jelly (the recipe calls for regular, but I always use sugarfree)

Beat butter, brown sugar, egg yolks, salt, and vanilla together until fluffy. Add flour slowly. Using a level tablespoon for a measure for each cookie, scoop out dough and roll into balls. Roll the balls in the egg whites, then in the nuts, then place 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Press the center with your thumb to make a bed. Fill the hole with the jam or jelly and back 325 degrees for 20-25 minutes. These are delicious!

Beautiful Fall Sunrise on the Canal

I worked at home one day last week. As I left my computer and went to the kitchen for coffee, this is what I saw. There are truly many unforeseen benefits of my new flex work environment! We should all wake up to mornings like this. Just thought I'd share this moment of beauty on the canal!
