Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line cookie sheets with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Roll the dough into balls slightly smaller than walnuts. Dip the balls in egg white, then roll them in the chopped walnuts. Place the cookies 1 inch apart on the prepared cookie sheets. Press your thumb into the center of each ball to make a divot.

Bake for 12 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the edges are golden. Remove from the oven and press the divots again, then fill the divots with 1/2 teaspoon of raspberry jam. Transfer the cookies to wire racks to cool.
