Red Velvet Peppermint-White Chocolate Thumbprints
Festive red velvet cookies infused with a burst of peppermint flavor and white chocolate in their centers.
Red Velvet = Christmas in my mind and these festive red velvet cookies are infused with a burst of peppermint flavor and white chocolate in their centers for a Merry Christmas Cookie!
This recipe makes about 3 1/2 dozen cookies to enjoy or gift. They come together in 30 minutes, shaping dough into 1-inch balls. Press a deep indentation with the back of a melon baller in center of each cookie or with the end of a wooden spoon handle. Bake 9-11 minutes or until set. If cookies have risen too much after baking, press lightly down on centers while cookies are warm. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
Fill centers with melted white chocolate and sprinkle with crushed peppermint candy.
Optional shortcut: Save yourself some time during the busy holiday season and place a Candy Cane Hersey Kiss after baking while cookies are warm from the oven.
Drizzle tops with remaining white chocolate if desired.

I'm wondering if I could substitute red velvet cake mix.
Can I use a cream cheese frosting instead of the white chocolate? Not a fan of white chocolate
