How Do I Make Thumbprint Cookies
Step 1
In the mixing bowl of a stand mixer cream the butter, sugar and vanilla together. Add the flour a little at a time until completely incorporated into the butter. Remove the cookie dough from the mixer, wrap in waxed paper, and chill for one hour.
Step 2
After one hour, remove the dough, and roll about a Tablespoonful of dough into a ball, and place on a parchment paper-lined cookie sheet. With the knuckle of your finger, make an indentation into the cookie, so that if forms a dip in the center of the cookie, with an edge around the outside.
Step 3
Bake cookies for 18 – 20 minutes at 350 degrees, or until the cookies are lightly browned around the edges. Remove from the oven, and cool on a wire rack.
Step 4
Once the cookies are cooled; melt 4 squares of the white chocolate almond bark in the microwave, and dip the bottoms of the cookies into the chocolate, and then immediately into the Nonpareils, and sit them on parchment paper to set the chocolate.
Once the chocolate has set (about an hour) Melt the remainder of the white chocolate, in 4 separate small bowls and drop a drop of food coloring gel into the white chocolate, coloring it in pastel pink, purple, green, and blue. Place the pastel colored chocolate in the centers, or indentation of each cookie, and place one of the small bunnies on the top.
NOTE: You can make these in any pastel color you choose, so if you want to include yellow, orange/peach, aqua, or other colors, just buy the food coloring gel for the colors you prefer.

Nice read, I just passed this onto a colleague who was doing some research on that. And he just bought me lunch as I found it for him smile Thus let me rephrase that: Thank you for lunch! “Procrastination is the thief of time.” by Edward Young.
I do like the way you have framed this issue plus it really does give us a lot of fodder for thought. However, from what I have personally seen, I basically hope as the actual responses pack on that people keep on issue and don’t start on a soap box of the news du jour. Yet, thank you for this superb piece and whilst I can not go along with it in totality, I regard your perspective.
