Description

These irresistible Strawberry Chocolate Thumbprint Cookies feature a soft, buttery cookie base, a sweet strawberry jam filling, and a drizzle of melted chocolate. Perfect for Valentine’s Day, special occasions, or as an indulgent treat!


Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Cookies:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

For the Filling and Topping:

  • 1/3 cup strawberry jam or preserves
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil or vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. Make the Cookie Dough:
    • In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes.
    • Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
    • Gradually mix in the flour and salt until a soft dough forms.
  2. Chill the Dough:
    • Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour, or until firm enough to handle.
  3. Shape the Cookies:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
    • Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
    • Use your thumb or the back of a small spoon to press an indentation into the center of each cookie.
  4. Fill and Bake:
    • Fill each indentation with a small amount of strawberry jam (about ½ teaspoon).
    • Bake for 12–14 minutes, or until the edges are set and lightly golden.
    • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  5. Add the Chocolate Drizzle:
    • Melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
    • Drizzle the melted chocolate over the cooled cookies using a spoon or piping bag. Let the chocolate set before serving.

Notes

  • For a more festive look, sprinkle heart-shaped sprinkles over the chocolate drizzle before it sets.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
  • You can swap strawberry jam with raspberry, apricot, or your favorite flavor.
