Coconut thumbprints from Dessert Person: Recipes and Guidance for Baking with Confidence (page 149) by Claire Saffitz

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Can substitute dulce de leche for the “coconut caramel” mentioned in this recipe.

    These were okay. I guess i’m just not a fan of crumbly cookies

    These are delicious but also a lot of work a few times I made them I put jam in the thumbprint instead of caramel to save time.
