Chocolate Chip Thumbprints
Ingredients
-
1
18 ounce refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough
-
1/3
cup all-purpose flour
-
3/4
cup finely chopped hazelnuts (filberts) or almonds
-
1/4
cup milk
-
1/2
cup purchased chocolate-hazelnut spread
-
Candy sprinkles
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In a large mixing bowl, knead together the cookie dough and flour until combined. Shape 1-tablespoon pieces of dough into balls. Place nuts in a shallow dish. Place milk in another shallow dish. Roll dough balls in milk and then in nuts. Place balls 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Press your thumb into the center of each ball to make an indentation.
2. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until lightly browned. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool. Place chocolate-hazelnut spread in a resealable plastic bag; snip off one of the corners. Pipe spread into each indentation. Sprinkle cookies with candy sprinkles. Makes about 30 cookies.

AMAZING! I made these for our family and for a cookie exchange during the holidays. They were a huge hit. Everyone is begging me for the recipe. I'm tempted to tell them it's a family secret. ;) While they are a more time consuming cookie to make they aren't all that hard. The time invested is well worth the gorgeous outcome.

Also if you didn't indent good in the beginning, you can re-press your thumb as soon soon as they come out of the oven, while still soft.
