Directions
In a large mixing bowl, cream butter, sugar, egg yolk, milk and vanilla until light and fluffy.
Combine flour, cocoa and salt in a separate bowl; gradually add to creamed mixture, stirring until well blended. Cover and chill cookie dough for one hour, or until firm enough to shape into balls.
In a small bowl, lightly beat egg white.
Shape chilled dough into 1-inch balls, dip in egg white, then roll in chopped nuts.
Make an indentation with thumb in center of of each cookie.
Bake at 350℉ (180℃) F for 10 to 12 minutes, or until center is just set.
Combine the first four filling ingredients in a bowl; mix until smooth.
Spoon about ¼ teaspoon of filling into each warm cookie indentation, and gently press a chocolate kiss in the center.
Carefully remove chocolate thumbprint cookies from baking sheet to wire racks to cool.
Simply delicious.
