Double Chocolate Peanut Butter Thumbprint Cookies Recipes

Steps:

• Combine flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt in small bowl. Melt 1 cup morsels in small, heavy saucepan over lowest possible heat, stirring constantly until smooth. Beat granulated sugar, 1/3 cup peanut butter, butter and vanilla in large mixer bowl until creamy. Beat in melted chocolate. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Gradually berat in the flour mixture. Stir in remaining morsels. Cover; chill just until firm.
• Shape dough into 1 1/2" balls. Place on ungreased baking sheets. Press 1/2" deep centers with thumb. Fill each center with about 1/2 teaspoon peanut butter.
• Bake in preheated oven 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes or until sides are set but centers are still slightly soft. Let stand for 2 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely. Makes about 3 1/2 dozen.

Steps:

• Set oven to 350°F.
• Set oven rack to second-lowest or middle position.
• Lightly grease a large baking/cookie sheet.
• In a bowl whisk together flour, sifted cocoa powder, baking soda and baking powder.
• In another bowl using an electric mixer, cream butter, peanut butter, vanilla and sugar until light and fluffy.
• Beat in eggs until well combined.
• Beat in flour mixture.
• Mix in chocolate and peanut butter chips.
• Drop by tablespoons about 2-inches apart on the baking sheet.
• Bake for about 9-10 minutes.
• Cool cookies on racks.
• Delicious!

Steps:

• Sift flour, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl.
• Beat butter, peanut butter, white sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla together in a separate bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes. Scrape sides of bowl with a rubber spatula. Add egg to butter mixture and beat on medium speed until blended. Scrape side of bowl down again.
• Beat flour mixture into butter mixture on low speed until just blended. Scrape bowl and mix a few more seconds.
• Scoop dough into 2 tablespoon-sized balls and arrange on a baking sheet. Cover baking sheet and refrigerate at least 4 hours (overnight is ideal).
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper and arrange cookie balls atop paper.
• Bake cookies in the preheated oven until partially cooked, 11 minutes.
• Place raspberry jam in a bowl and stir until syrup consistency.
• Press a soda bottle cap into the center of each cookie until edges of cookies bulge and begin to crack, making an indentation. Fill each indentation with about 1 teaspoon jam.
• Bake cookies until edges are lightly browned, 7 minutes longer. Cool cookies completely on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack.

Steps:

• HEAT oven to 350ºF. Spray baking sheets with no-stick cooking spray; set aside.
• COMBINE 1/2 cup shortening, sugar, 1 tablespoon milk, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla and egg yolk in medium bowl; beat at medium speed of electric mixer until well blended. Add melted chocolate; mix well. Combine flour and salt; add to chocolate mixture. Mix until blended.
• STIR in chocolate chips. Form dough into 1-inch balls. Place 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheet. Press thumb gently into center of each cookie.
• BAKE 8 minutes. Re-press centers after baking. Remove to cooling rack; cool completely. Spoon or pipe peanut butter cream filling into center of each cookie.
• Peanut Butter Cream Filling: COMBINE 2 tablespoons shortening and peanut butter in medium bowl. Stir until blended. Add powdered sugar; stir well. Add 2 tablespoons milk and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla; stir until smooth. Fill cooled thumbprint cookies.

Steps:

• Make the cookies: Whisk together the flour, salt and cinnamon in a small bowl.
• Place a heatproof medium bowl over a saucepan of gently simmering water; don't let the water touch the bottom of the bowl. Drop in the chunks of butter and scatter over the chocolate. Heat, stirring now and then, until the butter and chocolate are melted, but not so hot that they separate, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Remove the bowl from the saucepan and whisk in the sugar. (Don't be alarmed when the mixture turns grainy.) One by one, add the cold eggs, whisking vigorously until the mixture is thick and smooth, and the whisk leaves tracks. Beat in the vanilla, then switch to a spatula and add the flour in 3 additions, stirring gently between each addition, until the flour disappears into the dough. Press a piece of plastic wrap against the surface of the dough and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 4 days.
• When you're ready to bake, center a rack in the oven and heat it to 350 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Put the sanding or granulated sugar in a small bowl and, if you've got one, have a cork from a wine bottle at hand.
• Using a small cookie scoop or measuring spoon, scoop mounds of dough, each a scant tablespoon. Roll the dough into balls and then roll the balls in the sugar to coat. Place the balls on the baking sheets, giving them 1½ inches or so of space to spread. Press the cork into the center of each cookie or use your thumb to make an indentation.
• Bake 1 sheet for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the cookies feel firmish. Transfer the baking sheet to a rack. The indentations will have puffed in the oven, so you'll want to press them down again. Repeat with the second sheet. Let cookies cool completely.
• Fill the prints: Melt milk, dark or ruby chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water. If using white chocolate, add oil before melting and stir until smooth. While the chocolate is still warm and fluid, use a small spoon to fill each indentation to the brim, letting the chocolate fall from the end of the spoon. Slide the cookies into the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to set the chocolate. The cookies will keep for about 5 days in a covered container at room temperature.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Stir cookie mix, oil, water and egg with spoon until soft dough forms. (If dough is too stiff, stir in additional 1 to 2 teaspoons water.)
• Drop dough by rounded teaspoons about 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheet. Press thumb deeply in center of each.
• Bake 8 to 10 minutes or just until set. Cool 1 minute before removing from cookie sheet. Fill each thumbprint with about 1/2 teaspoon peanut butter.
