Beat in the egg yolk (save the egg white in a bowl for the next step), milk and vanilla. Combine the flour, cocoa and salt, gradually adding the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, and mix well. Cover the dough and pop it in the fridge until it&#8217;s easy to handle, or about 1 hour.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 2: Bake<\/h3>\n<p>Preheat oven to 350\u00b0F. In a small bowl, whisk the egg white until foamy. Shape the dough into 1-inch balls; dip in egg white, then roll in nuts. Place on a greased baking sheet. Using a wooden spoon handle, make an indentation in the center of each cookie. Bake until center is set, 10 to 12 minutes.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 3: Make the filling<\/h3>\n<p>For the filling, combine the confectioner&#8217;s sugar, butter, milk and vanilla, stirring until smooth. Spoon or pipe 1\/4 teaspoon into each warm cookie, and then gently press a chocolate kiss in the center. Carefully remove from pans to wire racks to cool completely.<\/p>\n<h2>Recipe Variations<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Swap out the kiss:\u00a0<\/strong>Choose a mini candy bar to press into the middle (a peanut butter cup is particularly yummy).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mix up the extract: <\/strong>Change out the flavor by using almond, orange or peppermint extract, or another flavor of your choosing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store Chocolate Thumbprint Cookies<\/h2>\n<p>Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container, or freeze. Avoid storing these at room temperature, as the chocolate can melt if you have a toasty home.<\/p>\n<h3>How long do chocolate thumbprint cookies last?<\/h3>\n<p>Consume these cookies within five days, or within three to four months if frozen.<\/p>\n<h2>Chocolate Thumbprint Cookie Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2017723\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/HCBZ22_1311_P2_MD_05_1924_9bC-Chocolate-Thumbprint-Cookies-e1721321802726.jpg?fit=700%2C467\" alt=\"Chocolate Thumbprint Cookies on a white serving plate\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Can I make these vegan?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, but the texture may change a bit. Swap out all of the non-vegan ingredients with a vegan alternative, skip the white egg wash step and use a vegan chocolate kiss.<\/p>\n<h3>How do I keep the nuts from crumbling out?<\/h3>\n<p>You&#8217;ll naturally lose some of the chopped nuts, but if you press them on well you&#8217;ll have plenty left over. Chilling for at least an hour is an important step, too.<\/p>\n<h3>How do I keep the thumbprints from cracking?<\/h3>\n<p>Don&#8217;t push too hard when you&#8217;re pressing the cookies with the spoon handle (or your thumb).

It was perfect. (I even used it in my homemade brownies for our church bake sale!).  Be sure your nuts are chopped well so after dipping the cookie ball in the egg white it is well coated with nuts.
