Recipe
1. Beat butter, granulated sugar, egg yolks, milk and vanilla until fluffy. Combine flour, cocoa and salt; gradually add to butter mixture, beating until well blended. Cover; refrigerate dough about 2 hours or until firm enough to handle.
2. Heat oven to 350 F. Lightly grease cookie sheet. Shape dough into 1-1/8-inch balls. Roll in powdered sugar; place on prepared cookie sheet. Press thumb in center of each cookie.
3. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until set. Remove from cookie sheet to wire rack; cool completely.
4. Spoon frosting into heavy-duty resealable plastic food storeage bag. Cut off corner of bag about 1/4 inch from point; pipe frosting into thumbprint indentations. Sift additional powdered sugar over filled cookies, if desired. Gently press 3 to 4 candies each filled cookie. About 3-1/2 dozen cookies.
VANILLA VARIATION: Increase flour to 2-3/4 cups; omit cocoa.
