Jelly Tea Cakes

This was Grandpa Ike's favorite.  A bit of effort here, but, oh, so worth it!

Make the dough a day ahead so it has a chance to cool before rolling out.

Make 3 1/2 dozen cookies.  This recipe can easily be doubled.

4 cups flour
1 cup butter
1 1/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon heavy cream
4 egg yolks
2 tablespoons vanilla

Mix together the above ingredients and chill several hours or overnight.

You will also need:
2 egg whites
1 cup crushed walnuts
1 jar of red currant jelly

To make the cookies, you will need a round cookie cutter, about 2 inches in diameter and something to cut a small circle in the top cookie
