I love all sorts of cookies for the Christmas season and, while I’ve made many thumbprint cookie varieties, like my Sušenky s otiskem palce ze 3 ingrediencí or Sušenky s otisky palců z mandlové mouky, I had never tried to incorporate chocolate.

It’s a fact that chocolate makes everything better, so it was a no-brainer for me to make chocolate thumbprint cookies, but I still wanted them to be healthy, so I went with almond flour as a base ingredient.

I když je celý recept hned níže, nenechte si ujít všechny mé tipy níže, včetně záměny ingrediencí, tipů na vaření a podrobných návodů!

Složení

Spojené státy americké - metrický

• ▢ 1 pohár Mandlová moučka - packed (note 1)
• ▢ 2 polévkové lžíce Javorový sirup - (poznámka 2)
• ▢ 2 polévkové lžíce Rozpuštěný kokosový olej - (poznámka 3)
• ▢ 2 polévkové lžíce Neslazený kakaový prášek

Optional ingredients – recommended to add flavors

• ▢ ¼ čajová lžička Sůl
• ▢ ½ čajová lžička Vanilkový extrakt
• ▢ ½ čajová lžička Mandlový extrakt

Čokoládová náplň

• ▢ 4 polévkové lžíce Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
• ▢ ½ čajová lžička Kokosový olej - (poznámka 4)

Instrukce

• Preheat the oven to 350 °F (180 °C). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
• In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add almond flour and unsweetened cocoa powder and whisk to combine.
• Add maple syrup, melted coconut oil, salt, vanilla extract, and almond extract if used.
• Combine the ingredients with a spatula at first, then, when it looks dry, use your hands to squeeze the dough and bring ingredients together into a cookie dough. If it is too dry and crumbly, simply add a little more maple syrup or 1-2 teaspoons of water until the dough forms a nice dough ball. It will be sticky, that's normal.
• Divide the dough into 12 small balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a thumb of space between each. They won't expand in the oven but you don't want the cookies to touch each other.
• Use the back of 1/4 teaspoon measuring scoop to press the center of each dough ball and form a print in the middle.
• Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes at 350 °F (180 °C) until they look dry and baked. They will be soft to the touch, which is normal. Don't overbake, or they will get too crunchy.
• Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack to completely cool down.
• Meanwhile, add chocolate chips and coconut oil (or coconut cream in a small microwave-safe bowl for a smoother, ganache-like filling). Microwave in 30-second bursts, stir between each and repeat until fully melted.
• Fill each cookie thumbprint with the melted chocolate mixture. Refrigerate the cookies to make the center firm up faster.

Poznámky

Poznámky 1: Almond meal works too, but the texture of the cookies will be a bit dryer and grainier.

Poznámky 2: Any liquid sweetener works, like agave syrup or coconut nectar.

Poznámky 3: Any oil with a light flavor works. To prevent any coconut flavor in the cookies, you can use refined coconut oil instead of unrefined coconut oil.

Poznámky 4: You can swap coconut oil for coconut cream for a fudgier filling that won’t firm up as hard.

Skladování: Store in the fridge in a sealed container for up to 5 days.

Režim trouby: Používám režim s ventilátorem (konvekcí). Pokud musíte použít konvenční režim, doporučuji zvýšit teplotu o 15 °C. Doba pečení by měla být stejná, ale může to trvat o několik minut déle.

Přísady a náhražky

You need only 4 ingredients for the base and two more for the chocolate filling.

• Mandlová moučka – Forms the base of the cookie, providing a tender, slightly nutty texture. Almond meal works as a substitute but may bring a slightly coarser texture. Do not swap the almond flour for coconut flour or regular flour, it wouldn’t work.
• Javorový sirup – This naturally sweetens the cookies and helps bind the ingredients. Agave syrup or coconut nectar are good alternatives, though each will slightly alter the flavor.
• Rozpuštěný kokosový olej – Adds moisture and a subtle richness. For a neutral taste, use refined coconut oil. Light-flavored oils like grapeseed oil or melted vegan butter can also work as substitutes.
• Neslazený kakaový prášek – Provides the chocolatey flavor and deepens the color of the cookies. Use a high-quality cocoa powder for the best flavor.
• Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips – Used for the filling, adding a rich chocolate flavor. Choose dark chocolate for a less sweet filling, or vegan chocolate chips if needed.
• Kokosový olej – Helps to create a smooth, glossy filling. You can also use coconut cream which makes the filling softer and more ganache-like, while coconut oil will firm up more in the fridge.

How to Make Chocolate Almond Thumbprint Cookies

This recipe is really easy to whip up, here’s how in a few pictures.

Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes at 350 °F (180 °C) before pouring the melted chocolate in the thumbprint.

Carininy tipy na pečení

While you can make these cookies easily with the recipe below, here are a few more tips for perfect cookies.

• Použijte jemně mletou mandlovou mouku for a smoother texture; coarser flours can make the cookies grainy and more crumbly.
• Chill the dough briefly if it’s too sticky to handle. This can make shaping the dough balls easier and reduce the stickiness.
• Experiment with different fillings like a nut butter ganache or a fruit jam for a unique twist. Dark chocolate or almond butter filling pairs well with the almond base.
• For perfectly shaped thumbprints, use a rounded measuring spoon (like 1/4 teaspoon) to press the indentations. This ensures uniformity and a clean edge.
• Microwave the chocolate in short intervals and stir between each to prevent overheating, which can cause it to seize.
• Garnish with chopped nuts (like toasted almonds) or a sprinkle of sea salt for added flavor and texture contrast on top of the chocolate filling.
• Let the cookies firm up in the fridge for at least 15 minutes after adding the filling. This sets the chocolate, making them less messy to serve or store.
• Make these cookies ahead and store them in the fridge. The flavors meld beautifully over a day or two, enhancing the almond-chocolate combination.
