When you’re ready to use it, roll it out on a well-floured surface till it’s about 1/4 inch thick. Cut out in desired shapes.

Bake in a preheated 375 degree oven for 6 minutes. Let them cool completely.

Melt the chocolate chips over (not in) hot water. With a flat knife, spread a generous helping of chocolate on each cookie.

Let them cool and set before eating.
