    Childhood Thumbprint Cookies

    1 c. butter
    2/3 c. sugar
    2 egg yolks
    1/2 t. vanilla extract
    2 1/4 c. flour
    1/2 t. salt


    Chocolate Frosting:

    1/4 c. cocoa
    1/4 c. milk
    1/4 c. butter
    1/2 t. vanilla extract

    Recipe



    Cream butter; gradually add sugar, beating until light and fluffy. Add egg yolks, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla.

    Combine flour and salt; add to creamed mixture, mixing well. Chill.

    Roll dough into 1" balls; place balls about 2" apart on ungreased cookie sheets.

    Press thumb in each ball of dough, leaving an indentation. Bake at 300 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes; do not brown. Allow to cool on wire racks. Place about 1/2 t. chocolate frosting in each cookie indentation.


    Combine sugar, cocoa, and milk in a heavy saucepan. Bring to a boil, and boil 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat; stir in butter and vanilla. Beat until mixture is of spreading consistency.
