With a rich cocoa cookie base, sweet coconut and almond coating, and a decadent chocolate filling, these German Chocolate Almond Thumbprint Cookies are a delightful treat. Ideal for any occasion!

Ingredients:
  • 1 cup 2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups sweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 cup chopped almonds
  • 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup evaporated milk
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup 1 stick unsalted butter
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions:

Start by heating the oven to 350F 175C

Put 1 cup of softened butter and 1 cup of granulated sugar in a large bowl and mix them together until they are light and fluffy

Add the eggs and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract and mix them in well

Mix the flour, cocoa powder, and salt together in a different bowl

Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients one at a time until the dough comes together

Put the sweetened shredded coconut and chopped almonds in a small bowl and mix them together

Roll the cookie dough into 1-inch balls, then roll them in the coconut and almond mixture, pressing a little to help them stick

Put the cookies on a baking sheet that has been lined with parchment paper

Use your thumb to make a hole in the middle of each cookie

After the oven is hot, bake the cookies for 10 to 12 minutes, or until they are set

Get the chocolate filling ready while the cookies are baking

Melt the milk chocolate chips, add the butter, and mix them with 1/2 cup of sugar and 1/2 cup of evaporated milk in a saucepan

Stir the mixture all the time over medium-low heat until it gets smooth and thick

As soon as you take the cookies out of the oven, press your thumb back into the centers to see if they need it

Put some of the chocolate mixture into each hole

Cool the cookies for a few minutes on the baking sheet, then move them to a wire rack to cool all the way down

Add the egg yolks and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to a small bowl and mix them together

For extra flavor and style, drizzle this mixture over the cookies after they have cooled

Before you serve, let the drizzle set

Enjoy your German Chocolate Almond Thumbprint Cookies!
