Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 egg yolk
- 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt until combined.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: In another mixing bowl, beat the room-temperature butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the egg yolk and mix well.
- Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until fully combined to form a thick cookie dough.
- Shape Your Cookies: Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheets about two inches apart.
- Create Thumbprints: Using your thumb or finger, gently press down in the center of each cookie ball to create an indent. Bake for about 10-12 minutes or until set.
- Add Chocolate Filling: Once out of the oven, allow the cookies to cool slightly before adding milk chocolate chips into each thumbprint.
