Cocoa Thumbprint Cookies Recipe Video

Cocoa Thumbprint Cookies - These simple and tasty cookies are definitely fun to make with family and friends during the cold winter season. It's nice that you can put anything you want in the center of each cookie. The original recipe came from Food Network. I cut down the sugar, fat and salt a lot. In the recipe instructions, it said to coat the cookie dough in sugar and powdered sugar before baking them. However, I think it will look better if you coat the cookies after they are baked and cooled down.
