Ingredients
Scale
- 115g (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened
- 75g (1/3 cup) granulated sugar
- 75g (1/3 cup) packed light brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 175g (1 1/2 cups) all-purpose flour
- 30g (1/4 cup) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Your favourite filling: Jam, Nutella, peanut butter, chocolate ganache
Instructions
- Cream the butter and sugars. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and vanilla. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Combine the dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in two additions, mixing on low speed until just combined.
- Chill the dough. Cover the dough with cling film and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven. Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F/Gas Mark 4). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Shape the cookies. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Make the thumbprints. Use your thumb (or the back of a small spoon) to make an indentation in the centre of each cookie.
- Bake the cookies. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centres are still slightly soft.
- Add the filling. Remove the cookies from the oven and immediately fill the thumbprints with your favourite filling.
- Cool the cookies. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
