Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 egg, large
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup strawberry jam
- 0.5 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the mixture and beat until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of the dough and roll them into balls. Place the balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Using your thumb or the back of a small spoon, press a small indentation into the center of each cookie ball.
Fill each indentation with about 1/2 teaspoon of strawberry jam.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set. Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the cookies cool, make the chocolate drizzle by microwaving the chocolate chips and heavy cream together in 20-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until smooth and melted.
Drizzle the melted chocolate over the cooled cookies using a spoon or piping bag.
Allow the chocolate to set before serving, and enjoy your Chocolate Strawberry Thumbprint Cookies!
