Ingredients
Thumbprint Cookie
- 1 cup (226g) salted butter, softened
- 2/3 cup (150g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- 2 cups (256g) all-purpose flour
- 1 egg yolk
Toppings
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips, melted
- 1/2 cup caramel topping
- 1/2 cup pecans, chopped
Instructions
Thumbprint Cookie
-
Preheat oven to 350°F.
-
In a medium bowl, cream together butter and granulated sugar until smooth, 1-2 minutes. Mix in almond extract, flour, and egg yolk until dough comes together.
-
Roll dough into 1 1/2 inch balls and place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Using a spoon, (I used a teaspoon) make a small impression in the center of each ball.
-
Bake for 14-18 minutes in preheated oven, or until lightly browned.
-
Cool completely before filling.
Toppings
-
Once the cookies have cooled, fill each impression with caramel sauce, and top with pecans.
-
In a small saucepan, melt the chocolate chips. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the top of each cookie. Alternatively, you can melt the chocolate in a plastic bag in the microwave. Just be sure to massage it between heating cycles to make sure it heats evenly.
