Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips or ganache (for filling)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients until fully combined.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough, roll into balls, and place on prepared baking sheets about two inches apart. Use your thumb to create an indentation in each ball.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until lightly golden around the edges but still soft in the center.
- Remove from the oven and fill each thumbprint with chocolate chips or ganache while still warm. Allow to cool completely before serving.
