How to Make Dirty Thumbprint Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened margarine and ¾ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1 large egg.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, and 1 teaspoon baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Roll the dough into 1-inch balls. Place the balls onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Use your thumb or the end of a wooden spoon to create an indentation in the center of each cookie.
- Fill each indentation with approximately ½ teaspoon of cherry pie filling.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are slightly soft.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
