 Santa's Chocolate Thumbprint Cookies
These thumbprint cookies are filled with swirled chocolate, toffee bits and maraschino cherry halves.
INGREDIENTS:
• 1 cup butter, softened
• 3/4 cup white sugar
• 3/4 cup corn syrup
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 (11 ounce) package white chocolate chips
• 1 (1.4 ounce) bar chocolate covered English toffee, chopped
• 1 (4 ounce) jar maraschino cherries, halved
•
DIRECTIONS
1. Beat butter and 1/2 cup sugar in large bowl until well blended; stir in corn syrup, egg and vanilla. In a separate bowl, combine flour, cocoa and baking soda; gradually add this dry mixture to butter mixture. Blend well. Cover and refrigerate dough for 1 hour or until firm enough to handle.
2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
3. In a small bowl, combine remaining 1/4 cup sugar and cinnamon. Shape dough into 1 inch balls; roll each ball in sugar mixture and arrange on a cookie sheet. Using your thumb, make an indentation in center of each cookie.
4. Bake in a preheated 350 degrees F oven for 7 to 8 minutes or until just set.
5. Remove the cookies from the oven. If the indentation has grown indistinct, use the top of a spoon and press indentation in further. Immediately place 1 teaspoon white chips into each indentation. After several minutes, swirl the melted chips with a spoon. Top with toffee bits and maraschino cherry halves (if desired). Cool cookies on a wire rack.
