Eggless Strawberry Chocolate Thumbprint Cookies

Thumbprint cookies goes always for shortbread like very buttery and melt in mouth texture cookies. These cookies are seriously very addictive and one of my favourite cookies are simple vanilla and chocolate thumbprint cookies. Today's post is prepared with a fruit pulp that too strawberry pulp, actually these cookies are suggested by Viji for Home Baker's Challenge but somehow i couldnt post these strawberry thumbprint cookies earlier. But thank God these pretty attractive cookies fits prefectly for this week's blogging marathon theme. Theme of this first week is cooking with fruits and i chosed berries from the list given by Srivalli.

After rasgullas and eggless pudding, hope you all will definitely love these scrumptious cookies with strawberries.If you dont get the fresh strawberries, you can still make these cookies with frozen strawberries too, but if you using frozen berries, take care not to add water and make the pulp very thick else your cookie dough will turn watery and your cookies will get flatten easily while baking, they wont retain their shape. Kids will definitely love this cookies and none can stop just with one after having these cookies, yes they are seriously very additive.Check out the Blogging Marathon page for the other Blogging Marathoners doing BM#34.
