The Most Satisfying of All Cookies!

This is undoubtedly my most very favorite cookie!
It is sweet, it is salty, it's texture is perfect, and....it's Chocolate!

Chocolate Thumbprints

1 cup of sugar
1 cup of confectioners sugar
6 sticks of butter
8 cups of flour
Sprinkles
Fudge Icing (I use pre-made)

Cut butter into pats
Mix sugars
Cut butter into the sugars
Mix in flour until batter holds shape.
The only way to really do this is by hand as I have KILLED 6 food processors trying to make it easier.

Take a big handful of dough, roll it into a ball.
Roll into cylindrical shape about 6-8 inches long.
Roll log into a plate (oval platters work best) of sprinkles and press firmly so that they stick.
Cut log into 1/2 - 3/4 in slices (I like mine thick)
Place cut pieces onto a parchment lined cookie sheet about 1 inch apart and stick your thumb in each cookie to make a nice indentation.
Bake for 45 to 1 hour on 275
Cool completely!
Fill pastry bag with fudge icing and liberally fill in your thumbprint with a nice swirl of icing.
Let set completly before storing, as fudge will become firm and store and ship very nicely if left overnight uncovered.

You will have dozens of cookies that you can give as gifts and will become a family favorite!
