Zubereitung von Kelly's Amazing Andes Mint Thumbprint Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) of softened butter and 1 ½ cups powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 1 teaspoon peppermint extract, 2 large egg yolks, and a few drops of green food coloring until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Roll dough into 1-inch balls. Place them 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets.
- Using the end of a wooden spoon handle, press a deep indentation into the center of each cookie.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Remove from oven and gently reshape the indentations with the spoon handle while the cookies are still warm.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 15 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While cookies cool, prepare the filling: In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, 2 tablespoons heavy cream, and 1 tablespoon butter. Microwave on high in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until melted and smooth. Let cool slightly.
- Once the chocolate mixture has slightly cooled, fill each indentation with about 1 teaspoon of the mixture.
- Let stand for about 10 minutes until the chocolate has set slightly, then garnish each cookie with a small Andes mint piece (or other candy of your choice).
- Let the cookies stand for at least 1 hour to allow the chocolate to fully set.
