Caramel Thumbprint Cookies

Servings 10 cookies

Ingredients

Dough:

  • 110g (1/3 cup) butter (softened)
  • 70g (1/3 cup) sugar
  • 150g (1 + 1/4 cups) plain (all-purpose) flour
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla sugar (or essence)

Filling:

  • Approx. 10 teaspoons caramel

Drizzle:

  • 20g (2½) tablespoons dark chocolate

Instructions

  1. Pre-heat the oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a baking tin with grease-proof paper.

  2. Beat the butter, vanilla sugar and sugar together until nice and fluffy. Add the flour and mix until a dough forms. Place the dough in the fridge for around 30 minutes to firm up a little.

  3. Roll into small balls and press your thumb down in each one making a nice, fairly thick hole.

  4. Bake for around 10 minutes, just until the edges begin to brown. Remove from the oven and then spoon around 1 teaspoon of caramel into the hole of each cookie (if you find that the holes have closed up a little when baking, just use the back of a small spoon to press the cookie down and make the holes larger again). Leave to cool on the tray for around ten minutes and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

  5. Melt the chocolate and then drizzle over the cookies. Enjoy!

Recipe Notes

I have converted grams to cups but my measurements may not be entirely accurate. If in doubt, I recommend you do your own conversions!
