Valentines Thumbprint Cookie

INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup butter, room temperature
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• 3 Tbsp milk
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 3 1/2 cups flour
• 3/4 cup cacao powder
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 tsp cornstarch
• 1/3 cup PBfit Cocoa
• 5-8 Tbsp water
• 2 tsp maple syrup

DIRECTIONS

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350°F.

2. 2

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Whip until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, fully incorporating each before adding the next. Mix in the milk, vanilla, and salt until combined.

3. 3

   Add the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and cornstarch. Mix just until combined and no dry spots remain do not overmix.

4. 4

   Lightly dust your work surface with flour and turn the dough out onto it. Roll the dough to about 1/2 inch thickness. Cut into desired shapes and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Using your index finger, gently press a small heart-shaped indent into each cookie.

5. 5

   Bake for 7 minutes, then remove from the oven and allow to cool.

6. 6

   In a small mixing bowl, combine the PBfit Cacao, 5 tablespoons of water, and maple syrup. Mix until smooth and pipeable, adding more water as needed. Transfer the mixture to a piping bag and snip off the tip.
