Gradually add sifted ingredients and beat well after each addition. Roll small amounts of dough gently into 1-inch balls. Dip balls into slightly beaten egg whites and roll in chopped nuts. Place on ungreased cookie sheet about 2 inches apart. Flatten slightly with the fingers and make a depression in the center of each cookie with the thumb. Bake 12-15 minutes, or until lightly browned. Cool cookies on wire cake racks. FIll depressions with desired jam, jelly or preserves. Cookies may be stored unfilled and the jam added later. Makes 4-5 dozen cookies.
