Chocolate Thumbprint Cookies


I originally baked these cookies for one of my husband's work events.  I wanted to add a little visual variety to the regular chocolate chip cookie platter.  I fell in love.  This cookies are melt-in-your mouth delicious.  I think they would be a fun Halloween cookie- just switch out the chocolate frosting for vanilla dyed orange.

Recipe:  (Printable Recipe Front and Back)

2 1/2 C flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 C unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 C powdered sugar
2 tsp vanilla
Chocolate sprinkles
Chocolate frosting (and decorating bag)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Grease a baking sheet and set to the side.

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour and salt.

In a separate bowl, cream the butter, powdered sugar and vanilla until light and fluffy.  Reduce speed to low and combine with flour and salt.  Then beat until a dough forms.

Scoop out a tablespoon of dough, roll into a ball and use thumb or a melon baller to depress the middle of the dough.  Roll sides in chocolate sprinkles.  Place on cookie sheet.

Bake for 10 minutes.  Remove from oven and make a deeper indentation in the middle of the cookies, and bake for an additional 8 minutes.  Allow to cool.

Swirl frosting on top.
