Ingredients
- ¾ cup butter (softened)
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar (packed)
- 1½ cups all purpose flour (at least 11% protein)
- 1 pinch salt*
- 2 large egg yolks (room temperature)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
*If using unsalted butter then add ¼ teaspoon of salt.
EXTRAS
- 30 chocolate kisses
- ¼ cup granulated sugar (for rolling)
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 350F (180C). Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- Beat the butter and sugar 2-3 minutes or until light and fluffy, add the yolks and vanilla beat just until combined. Sift in the flour and salt and combine on low speed until dough comes together.
- Move the dough to a flat surface and gently knead to form a compact dough. If the dough is very soft or your house is warm, then chill the dough for about 30 minutes.
- Roll the dough into 1 inch balls, roll in granulated sugar, place on parchment paper lined baking sheets, 1 inch apart. Make an indentation with your thumb or spoon. Chill while the oven is pre-heating. Approximately 20-30 minutes.
- Bake for approximately 12-15 minutes, at the halfway point reindent the cookies, then again when removed from the oven if needed. Immediately place a chocolate kiss in the centre of each cookie. Let cool before serving on a wire rack. Enjoy!
Notes
- Store cooled thumbprint cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for 3 days. Do not stack the cookies. You can also store them in the freeze for up to two months.
- To freeze unbaked cookie dough balls, roll it into balls and then make a small indentation in the cookie. Flash freeze on baking sheet until hardened. Once frozen, store in a freezer safe bag. Either thaw before baking or bake from frozen, increasing baking time by a minute or two.
