Instructions
Instructions eggless chocolate thumbprint cookies
- For this recipe I used unsalted made by Lurpak.
- In a bowl whip soft butter together with white sugar for about 3 minutes until the mixture becomes light. At this point add dark cocoa powder and mix it with the butter.
- In the separate bowl sift all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt and the baking powder. Pour the flour over the butter and cocoa mix and stir first with the spoon and finally with your hand. Knead briefly until the dough becomes similar to that of shortcrust pastry where there are no visible traces of flour.
- Preheat the static oven to 180 °C. Meanwhile divide the dough into similar pieces. Create balls that you must gently press with your thumb or index finger until you get a hollow space in the center. Place your chocolate cookies on a baking sheet covered with baking paper.
- Bake your cookies in the preheated oven for about 7 – 9 minutes. The central part of the cookies could rise up so once they are ready take them out of the oven and as soon as you can touch them without burning yourself, press the central part again with your thumb or using the back of the spoon to recreate the hollow space. Let them cool down completely.
Preparation of cocoa glaze
- Prepare the glaze by mixing the icing sugar with the dark cocoa powder. Add vanilla extract and very hot water. Stir vigorously to remove any lumps of sugar and to obtain a smooth and rather thick mixture.
- Divide the icing between the cookies or fill each hollow space with hazelnut spread, for example Nutella. Decorate each cookie with a piece of toasted walnut, almond or hazelnut.
