I swear these cookies are not a hot mess! Really, they may look like it but they are in fact so delicious!!!
I don’t know about you but I love chocolate covered cherries! My girls think they taste like cough medicine but I think they are just not fully able to capture the deliciousness of this candy!
What I didn’t know was that you can find the candy either in milk chocolate or dark chocolate and so now I can’t decided which one is my favorite?!!
How to make these cookies:
So making these cookies are pretty simple. I cut my chocolate peppermint thumbprint cookie recipe in half to make a smaller batch but you could definitely double it!
- I added greek yogurt to the cookie recipe but you could use regular yogurt or sour cream.
- It was by accident that I broke the centers of these and I am so glad I did! They looked a little boring before I did it.
- Allow the cookies to sit on your parchment paper until the filling stops to flow. They can be a little messy.
- Make sure to space your cookies out far enough apart so the filling doesn’t run into the other cookies
- You can flash freeze the cookies to stop the centers from flowing.
- You can use this recipe to make these raspberry chocolate thumbprint cookies!
