Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 1/2 cup | Butter |
| 1 cup | White sugar |
| 1/2 cup | Peanut butter |
| 1 | Egg |
| 1 1/4 cup | Flour |
| 1 tsp | Baking soda |
| 1/2 tsp | Salt |
| 6 oz | Melted chocolate |
Instructions:
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper or lightly greasing them.
-
In a large mixing bowl, blend together the butter, white sugar, peanut butter, and egg until smooth and creamy.
-
Sift the flour, baking soda, and salt into the bowl with the wet ingredients. Stir until well combined to form a dough.
-
Roll the dough into small balls, approximately 1 inch in diameter. Place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
-
Using your thumb, gently press down on the center of each ball to create an indentation.
-
Fill each thumbprint with about 1/2 teaspoon of melted chocolate, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
-
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
For best results, chill the cookies in the refrigerator or freezer before packaging. This helps the chocolate set and enhances the texture of the cookies.
These Chocolate-Peanut Butter Thumbprints are perfect for any occasion, whether it’s a school event, a family gathering, or simply a sweet treat to enjoy at home. With their irresistible combination of chocolate and peanut butter flavors, they’re sure to become a favorite in no time!
