Key Ingredients You’ll Need
All-Purpose Flour: All-purpose flour is best to use. However, if you are using self-rising flour, you would eliminate the baking powder.
Butter: It is best to use unsalted butter for this recipe. Using unsalted butter will give you control of the flavoring in the recipe. This will allow the rawest and most natural flavor to come out in the recipe.
Powdered Sugar: This is the best sugar to use when needing a frosting with a smooth consistency.
Heavy Whipping Cream: This is a great thickening agent and when used at room temperature it creates a creamy consistency.
Candy Melts– This is what will go inside of the thumbprint area of the cookie. You can use whatever color you like, but I love the vibrant yellow and pink for this cookie.
How To Make Easter Thumbprint Cookies
Step 1. Set the oven to 350 degrees and use parchment paper or a silicone mat to line two cookies sheets. Add the butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, and heavy whipping cream into a standing mixer and combine.
Step 2. Slowly combine the flour and salt into the mixture until combined and it forms a dough.
Use a small cookie scoop to form the dough balls and roll them with your hands. Roll and coat the balls in the sprinkles and arrange them onto the prepared sheet. Use your thumb or a spoon to make an indent in the center.
Step 3. Set the cookies into the oven for 7-10 minutes or until light brown. Let the cookies cool while your prepare the candy melts.
Filling
Step 1. Place about 1 C of the candy melts into their own piping bags and set in the microwave to melt for 45 seconds. Cut the end off the piping bag and fill the indent in the middle of the cookie. Let it harden until firm and enjoy!
