After having a somewhat salty dinner, I was craving something sweet for dessert. So I pulled out my trusty cookie book and found a recipe where I already had all the ingredients. So chocolate thumb-print cookies were made.
This is a very easy recipe, with only a few steps and a short bake time. The recipe goes as follows:
1/2 cup unsalted (sweet) butter, at room temperature
1/2 (generous) cup light brown sugar
1 egg
2/3 cup all purpose flour
1/4 cup cocoa powder (unsweetened)
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 (generous) cup rolled oats
5-6 tbsp chocolate spread (I used Nutella)
Preheat the oven to 350*F and grease a large baking sheet. In a bowl, beat together the butter and sugar until creamy.
Add the egg, flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and oats and mix until well blended.
{The image shows a spatula, but I mixed this with a hand mixer}
Using your hads, roll spoonfuls of the mixture into balls. Place the balls on the baking sheet, spacing them well apart to allow room for spreading out. Flatten slightly.
Dip a thumb in flour and press into the center of each cookie to make an indent. Bake the cookies for 10 minutes. Leave for 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool.
Spoon a little chocolate spread into the center of each cookie.
Sit back and enjoy your cookies.
