These Easter Thumbprint Cookies are pillowy soft, perfect sugar cookies, with pretty pastel white chocolate filling. An easy dessert for Easter or parties!
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2/3 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon coconut extract (optional)
- 1 eggs
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 8oz white chocolate (melted)
- gel food coloring
Directions
| Cookies | |
| Step 1 | |
| Preheat oven to 350. In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugars until very light and fluffy. | |
| Step 2 | |
| Add salt, vanilla, coconut extract, and egg. Mix until well combined. | |
| Step 3 | |
| Add baking soda and flour, mixing until incorporated. | |
| Step 4 | |
| Roll dough into 1" balls and place them on a silicone or parchment paper lined cookie sheet 2" apart. Bake 6 minutes. Cookies will stay light in color but will start to get lightly golden around the very edges. Do not over bake! Using the end of a wooden spoon, press carefully into the center of each cookie, to make a well for the filling (be careful to not make a hole in the bottom). Cool on the cookie sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. | |
| Filling | |
| Step 5 | |
| Divide melted white chocolate and add food coloring as desired. Place each color of chocolate into a small plastic bag with the corner cut off, and pipe into the well of each cookie. Allow chocolate to set up before storing cookies in an airtight container. | |

How do they turn out with regular food coloring instead of gel?

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

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