Thumbprint Cookies



1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup shortening
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 small egg
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 cup flour
1/4 tsp. salt


sprinkles (I prefer the longer skinny ones to the hard little balls)
chocolate icing

Mix the first group of ingredients together. Roll into small balls and then roll in sprinkles. Place on cookie sheet and use a finger or thumb to press down the center of each dough ball about halfway. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and cool. Make chocolate icing and put a Hershey's kiss sized dollop of icing in the center of each cookie! Store in a sealed container.
