    Chocolate Chestnut Cookies


    Source of Recipe


    Martha Stewart

    List of Ingredients




    1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
    1/2 cup firmly packed dark-brown sugar
    1 large egg yolk
    1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    1 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
    1/3 cup (about 2 ounces) finely chopped bittersweet chocolate
    6 tablespoons creme de marrons (sweetened chestnut cream)

    Recipe



    Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Line baking sheets with silpats (French nonstick baking mats), or parchment paper. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter and sugar on medium until light and fluffy. Add egg yolk, vanilla, and salt; beat until combined. Add flour and mix on low speed until just combined. Remove bowl from mixer and, using a wooden spoon, stir in chocolate.

    Using a 1 1/4-inch ice cream scoop or a tablespoon, drop dough onto prepared baking sheets and roll into 1 1/4-inch balls, spacing about 2 inches apart. Make a thumbprint in the center of each cookie. Fill each thumbprint with 1/2 teaspoon creme de marrons. Bake until edges are golden and cookies are firm, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer cookies to a rack until completely cool. Store in an airtight container up to 3 days.
    Yield: about 2 1/2 dozen cookies
