Chocolate Thumbprint Cookies


No sane kid can refuse these cookies...its super simple and looks so cute.

I am not a big fan of jam.....decided to fill the cookies with chocolate...it was a big hit with my daughter and her gang...it disappeared in minutes....by the way my dad was part of my daughters gang.

There is a reason these are called thumbprint cookies..the indentation is supposed to be made with thumb.....but please don't try that or you will end up with 'BURNT THUMB' print cookies.






Ingredients

Recipe source :-Brown Eyed Baker
  • 8 tbsp Butter (113 grams) softened
  • 1//2 cup Icing Sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp Vanilla essence
  • 1 1/4 cup All purpose flour
  • 2 ounce Semi Sweet Chocolate chips (56 grams)
  • 3/4 tsp Corn syrup (I used pan cake syrup)
  • 2 tbsp butter

Method
  1. Pre heat oven to 170 Degree C. Line baking sheet with baking paper and keep aside.
  2. Beat together 8 tbsp butter ,icing sugar, vanilla and salt for 2 minutes on high speed with a hand electric mixer or a whisk.
  3. Add the flour and beat on low speed and then increase to medium high.
  4. Using a small cookie scoop or in my case 1 tsp measure , heap the cookie dough in the spoon and roll the dough into balls, and place 1 inch apart on a baking tray.
  5. Bake for 9 to 10 minutes, remove from the oven and make indentation in middle of the cookie. I used back of a small rounded measuring tsp to make the indentation. 
  6. Pop the cookies back into the oven and  bake for 7 to 9 minutes or until the edges turn light brown.
  7. Combine chocolate, 2 tbsp butter and corn syrup or pancake syrup in a small heat proof dish. Place over a pot of simmering water, stir until melted and smooth (or melt in the microwave). Allow to cool slightly. Fill the indentation with the chocolate mixture or jam.
