Gingerbread Peanut Butter Thumbprints - A Delicious Holiday Treat
Looking for a festive and delicious holiday treat? Look no further than these Gingerbread Peanut Butter Thumbprints! This recipe combines the warm, spicy flavors of gingerbread with the rich, nutty taste of peanut butter for a truly irresistible dessert.

To make these Gingerbread Peanut Butter Thumbprints, you will need the following ingredients:

- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup molasses
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground cloves
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

This recipe makes about 24 cookies.
To start, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the molasses and egg, and mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a dough forms.
Roll the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and use your thumb to make an indentation in the center of each cookie.
Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until they are lightly golden brown. While the cookies are baking, mix together the peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a small bowl.
Once the cookies are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Then, use a spoon to fill each indentation with the peanut butter mixture.
These Gingerbread Peanut Butter Thumbprints are the perfect holiday treat - they're sweet, spicy, and oh-so-delicious! Serve them up at your next holiday party or enjoy them as a special treat with your family and friends.
