Thumbprint Shortbread Cookies Recipe
Ingredients
- ¾ cup margarine
- ¼ cup white sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup chopped pecans
- 1 (16 ounce) container chocolate fudge frosting
Directions
step 1: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
step 2: In a medium bowl, cream together the margarine and sugar until smooth. Mix in the flour and chopped pecans. Shape tablespoonfuls of dough into balls and place them 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Press a thumb or finger deeply into the center of each cookie.
step 3: Bake for 9 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven, until edges are lightly browned. Allow cookies to cool for a couple of minutes on the baking sheets before removing to wire racks to cool completely. Fill each depression in the cookies with a dab of chocolate frosting. Let the icing set, preferably overnight.
