So let's get on to the cookie part...the recipe is from Martha Stewart's Chocolate Thumbprints. I was a little rusty on making this batch..so my cookies appeared to be way bigger than the suggested size (easier to eat, right!?). I started with the dough and then used my thumb to make the indents.
What do you think? Give it a try? It's really not that hard. I didn't have quite enough of the chocolate sauce, so I filled two with some jam that a dear friend brought from France (you can use ANY jam).
Do make sure you read through the entire recipe beforehand. Last but not least...the cookie-inspired card!
I thought of circles, light brown, cream, red and pink.
The making of the chocolate sauce
Fill in the sauce....this is the yummiest part :)
I hope this post will inspire you to try the recipe or to make a card! I'm thankful that I have this creative outlet to share my love of cooking and card-making with you. I would love to see what you cook up as well, please link your cookie-inspired card or card-inspired cookie (or BOTH) with the Inlinkz ! You can say this is the NEW cookie/card swap.
