White Chocolate Thumbprints

By

Ingredients

  • 2 2/3 C flour
  • 1 t salt
  • 1 C butter, softened
  • 1 C sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 t vanilla
  • 9 oz white chocolate, chopped

Preparation

Step 1

1. Heat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Whisk flour and salt together. In another bowl beat butter, sugar til light and fluffy, about 4 min, then beat in egg and vanilla. On low speed, stir in flour mixture. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and chill til firm- about 1 1/2 hrs.
3. Roll 2 inch balls of dough and place 1 inch apart on baking sheet. Flatten each ball slightly; using your finger or round half teaspoon, make an indentation in center of each. Bake cookies about 15 minutes until cooked through but not golden. Re-indent center if needed and cool on baking sheet.
4. Melt chocolate. Spoon white chocolate into cookie indents. Let set about 1 hr.

Alternative: flatten cookies a bit, then when baked and cooled, drizzle white chocolate over top.
