Instructions
To make the cookies:
Preheat oven to 350°F.
In a standing mixer, beat together butter and sugar until creamy. Mix in egg and vanilla.
In a separate medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder and salt.
Gradually pour dry ingredients into wet ingredients, continuing to mix until well combined. Add egg and mix until incorporated.
Using a small ice cream scoop, scoop out dough and roll dough into small balls.
Place these dough balls onto the cookie sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes.
Remove from oven and quickly press thumb into the top of each cookie. Use caution, as cookies will be hot - I wait until they've cooled slightly.
Place cookies on wire cooling rack until they reach room temperature.
To make the chocolate frosting:
Melt butter in small mixing bowl in microwave, then pour into a larger mixing bowl.
Add cocoa, powdered sugar, vanilla and hot water. Mix until smooth and creamy.
To decorate:
Spoon the chocolate frosting into each thumbprint and top with a mini Cadbury egg. Press egg gently to secure in chocolate.
Allow to set completely and enjoy!
