Butter + Jam Crumble Cookies

Preheat the oven to 350F.
To make the cookies, beat the butter and sugars for 2-3 minutes, until pale and light. Beat in the egg yolk and vanilla. Stir or beat in the flour and salt, blending until smooth.
Press walnut-sized pieces of dough into the bottom of an ungreased muffin tin, making a slight indent in the middle. Spoon in a heaping teaspoon of jam. To make the crumble, pulse the ingredients in the bowl of a food processor until well blended and crumbly—this will grind up the oats and nuts, making a finer crumb, but if you don't have a food processor, you can blend them in a bowl with a fork.
Sprinkle some crumb mixture around the edge of each cookie, leaving some jam uncovered to poke through. Bake for 20 minutes, or until golden. Remove from the pan with a thin knife, and cool on a wire rack. Makes a dozen cookies.
