Experience the Holidays: Nonpareil Thumbprint Cookies! Ask my husband what his favorite candy is and without hesitation, he’ll respond “Nonpareils”. Think about it… dark chocolate buttons sprinkled with tiny beads of white candy. And they’re French! With today’s recipe, the nonpareil takes center stage crowned over a dark chocolate thumbprint cookie as rich as a brownie. Dusted in powdered sugar, it’s just the right size for nibbling.
NONPAREIL THUMBPRINT COOKIES
Ingredients:
2 cups flour
1 cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1 cup butter, softened
1 1/3 cups sugar
2 egg yolks
2 tablespoons heavy cream
2 teaspoons vanilla
3/4 cup powdered sugar for rolling
40 nonpareils
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350°. Sift flour, cocoa powder, and salt into a small bowl. Using a mixer, cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Reduce speed to medium, add yolks, cream, and vanilla. Beat in flour mixture just until combined. Roll balls using 1/2 tablespoon sized scoops of dough. Roll each ball in powdered sugar. Place on parchment-lined baking sheets. Press gently in the center to form an indentation. Bake 10 minutes or until set. Remove from oven. While cookies are warm, place one nonpareil in the middle of each cookie. Let cool before transferring to wire rack.
Interesting recipe. I’m about to get a bunch of egg yolks.
