Red Velvet Fudge Thumbprint Cookies ~ Soft, Chewy Red Velvet Cookies Filled with White Chocolate Fudge and Drizzled with Chocolate!
Happy Sunday! Today we are celebrating the baptism of Miss Rylin Jo and we are so thankful we have been blessed with her and Praise God! She’s the sweetest little baby ever. Yes, I know every mom claims that, but honestly she’s the best baby. Sleeps well, smiles, tries to talk, is so content that she makes babies seem easy, well as easy as they get!
I ordered a cake for her baptism dinner and cookies to serve at church. I’m pretty sure I referred to Rylin as a “her” in the conversation when I placed my order, but somewhere between ordering and the pick up Miss Rylin turned into a he apparently and we ended up with blue crosses on the cookies and blue frosting on the cake. Sigh. Life will go on but I’m slightly annoyed. It’s kind of par for the course this week. It’s been one of those weeks were I just don’t know if I can handle one more thing and I’m trying to put all my faith in God. He will lead me through this.
It all started with Miss K getting diagnosed with RSV on Monday. She pulled through and was on the mend. Friday afternoon I was at my parents and Miss K woke up from her nap and was a little cranky. I didn’t think much of it because had been sick and then she started pulling on her ear. The funny thing was my Mom and I had just had a conversation about her not having many ear infections while she was sleeping. Insert foot in mouth. The hubs ended up taking her straight to the ER and she had double ear infection. I never had ear infection as a child but after watching her I have no doubt it’s miserable. We were up a lot through the night and she decided she hates her medicine and threw it all up on Saturday morning. Fun times people fun times.
We also found out Friday morning that my husband’s uncle passed away suddenly that morning. It came as a shock and I’m still in utter disbelief. It’s another reminder to me that we need to hug our loved ones every day and tell each other we love each other. You never know what tomorrow will bring. We don’t count our blessing nearly enough in life. As much as God has thrown at me this week I know we will come out on the other side of this and if I put my faith in Him everything will be fine!
Especially if I make some of these amazing, to die for Red Velvet Thumbprint Cookies. Oh la la. These will have your Valentine smiling from ear to ear!

Tried this recipe?Let us know how it was!
I made these cookies for Christmas, 2019. Not only were they beautiful, but delicious. I usually make about a dozen different kinds of cookies and take a tray everywhere I go. These were the ones for which people asked the recipe. I will make these again.
Thanks so much for sharing, Barb! I’m glad they were a hit!
Do these cookies freeze? I am searching for new recipes for Christmas and these look good.
As always, they will be best served fresh but yes you could freeze these in an air tight container.
Yow. Your week sounds like it wasn’t the best… but I hope it got significantly better and that these cookies helped out with that! They’re gorgeous, and I know they would lift my spirits.
I appreciate your work for making such wonderful Cookies. Sure, I will try it on this valentine day for someone 🙂
Thanks Kevin!
I’m so sorry about your week Julie! I haven’t had to deal with many ear infections but I know that can be so hard for the kids and the adults. And so sorry about your families loss. When they are so sudden like that it is too hard to accept. Keep the faith and definitely keep the cookies coming! These are beauties!
I’m sorry to hear the cake got mixed up, but I’m sure these awesome cookies help make up for it. These are gorgeous!
Oh no, I’m so sorry to hear about your week 🙁 Hope Miss K feels better soon and definitely agree with you on cherishing time with our loved ones. These cookies are the perfect way to let someone know you care! They’re absolutely gorgeous! I love the red velvet with white chocolate fudge! Your photos are stunning too!
Julie I am SO sorry for the week you had 🙁 things always seem to happen all at once. Hopefully K is on the mend, and who knows maybe R will like the color blue 🙂
