Recipe: Easter Thumb Print Cookies
Here’s a favorite recipe of mine, we made at Easter many times when I was growing up. It is a fun one to make with kids, as they enjoy decorating the cookies with jelly beans.
Easter Thumb Print Cookies
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 egg separated
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 cup flour
1/4 tsp. salt
3/4 cup chopped nuts, or coconut
1/2 tsp. baking soda
Miniature Jelly Beans
Heat oven to 350 degrees. In a mixing bowl, combine the butter, egg yolk, brown sugar, & vanilla. Add the salt, baking soda, & flour. Mix well. Roll into 1″ balls. Dip the balls in the egg white and roll in either the coconut, or nuts. Press the cookie down with your thumb. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven. Let cool.
Frost the cookies and decorate with several miniature jelly beans.
Enjoy!
