Heat
oven to 350 f. Mix shortening, sugar, egg yolk, and vanilla thoroughly.
Sift
flour and blend with salt. Stir into mixture. Roll dough into balls
about
1-1/2"

cookie
ball into it. Now, place walnuts into a ziplock bag and smash them!
Gently
place each cookie ball into the bag and coat with walnuts. Take out,
place
on cookie sheet and stick thumb into center on each ball. (This is
a
good
job for little ones too!)
Bake

Cool.
Use a teaspoon to fill the thumbprint hole in each cookie. Makes
about
3-4
dozen cookies! Yummy!
