Description

Ingredients

• 1 cup butter, at room temperature

• 4 teaspoons red food coloring
• 2½ cups flour
• 3 tablespoons cocoa powder

Directions

• Beat together butter and sugar with an electric mixer until creamy (about 2 minutes).
• Add the egg, food coloring, and vanilla.
• Add the flour, cocoa, salt, and baking soda to the mixture and blend together.
• Roll out pieces of dough into 1-inch balls and place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Leave room for them to spread out. Press your thumb into the middle of the ball of dough, about halfway down.
• Bake in a preheated oven for 10-12 minutes at 350º.
• Immediately out of the oven, place a white chocolate wafer or a Hug in the center of each cookie, then remove from cookie sheet. Let cool completely.
