Notes
- Do you have to chill the cookie dough?
- Nope! It’s one reason I love this recipe! Once you’ve made the chocolate cookie dough, you can bake it right away.
- Can I make the mint fudge filling in the microwave?
- I prefer to melt the white chocolate on the stove. White chocolate can scorch easily in the microwave.
- How long do they keep at room temperature?
- Stored properly, they will keep well for up to three days.
- I don’t like mint. Can you fill them with something else?
- Yes, you can try other fillings to switch them up! If you don’t like mint, leave out the extract and make white chocolate fudge filling.
- Or, skip the fudge and fill the chocolate thumbprint cookies with jam, chocolate filling (like chocolate ganache), or frosting.
- You can also make chocolate peppermint thumbprints by swapping the mint extract for peppermint extract.
