An easy thumbprint cookie. If you like the taste of chocolate and coffee, you'll love these. Even the little kids like them a lot. Important not to overbeat the dough - mix in flour, just until combined, then finish by kneading by hand.

Ingredients
  • 2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 Tbsp. freeze-dried coffee crystals
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 2/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 Tbsp. butter
  • 2 Tbsp. corn syrup
  • 1 Tbsp. coffee-flavored liqueur (Kahlua)
  • 2 tsp. vanilla extract

Directions
  1. Heat oven to 350º. In a large bowl, whisk flour, coffee crystals, and salt. Set aside.
  2. In a second bowl, beat together the 1/2 cup of butter, sugar, and egg until smooth, about 2 mins. Beat in flour mixture until JUST combined. Knead in bowl by hand, if necessary, to bring dough together.
  3. Form dough into balls, using about 2 tsp. each, or a small ice cream scoop (level). Place on ungreased baking sheets and make an indentation in the center of each with thumb, straight down and deep.
  4. Bake at 350º for 12 mins. until set. Press down indentations a little, if needed. Remove from baking sheets to a wire rack and let cool.
  5. In a microwave-safe bowl, add remaining 2 Tbsp. butter, chocolate chips and corn syrup. Microwave on HIGH for 1 min. and stir until smooth. Microwave at 15 second intervals as needed. Stir in liqueur and vanilla. Let cool slightly. Place in a resealable plastic food storage bag and snip off a small corner. Fill indentation of each cookie with chocolate. Let cookies set up at room temp.

Thaks for posting babs!! Cant wait to try them!


I'm all over this one...:)


These are super yummy! I did change the recipe a bit due to what I had on hand. I used powdered espresso for the coffee crystals and for some reason we were out of Kahlua but had Baileys so I used that instead. I love them with Baileys!!! Thanks Babs!!!! I will post a pic tomorrow.


Sounds really good, got to give me a try.


Such a great cookie! Mr Slj and I just loved them....very tasty and the filling is "drinkable"!! Would be fantastic on ice cream. lol....These had a very distinct coffee flavor which we really liked, and the chocolate/kahlua filling just is perfect with it. I cant wait to serve these tonight for our company!~~ Thanks Babs!
