Recipe: Not thumbprint but something like it...

These are on my list of baking this week. They were 1954 pillsbury bake off winner. I'm going to make them but coat them in egg white and them ground nuts before filling and baking. I'll post the results after I try them. I do have a thumbprints recipe that I'll look for if one doesn't get posted.
