Colorful Easter Thumbprint Cookies

It has become the norm around here for my kids to run through the door after school and excitedly ask “What did you make today??” as they race to the kitchen.

The day I made these, their eyes got wide and their smiles got so big. I’m telling you, these colorful thumbprint cookies just make people happy!!

This recipe makes about 7 dozen mini cookies – I know what you’re thinking.

That’s a lot of cookies!

It may seem like a lot, but these thumbprint cookies are tiny. Everyone who tries them will want at least 4 or 5…or more! The amount of actual cookie dough is no more than a standard batch.

A FEW QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE ABOUT HOW TO MAKE THUMBPRINT COOKIES:

  • Do I need to chill the dough? Nope! This dough is ready to go right after mixing. No chilling required!
  • What can I use to make the well in the cookie besides my thumb? My go-to is the end of a wooden spoon!
  • I don’t like white chocolate, what else can I fill these with? You can use milk chocolate, dark chocolate, jam, caramel, candy…the options are endless.
  • Can these be frozen? Yes, these freeze very well!

    Delicious and easy! I used royal icing instead of chocolate, liquid food color, and they were great. Very pretty on my Easter table!

    Super good cookie! I made them and used my Sugar cookie icing in the center instead of the chocolate and they were so good!
