salt, and sugar, and whisk to combine well.
Add the chocolate mixture, and mix until the dough comes together and is.
This is a relatively dry cookie dough, and may appear crumbly at first. Using.
clean hands, squeeze the dough to help it form a disk.
If you have allowed the dough to sit at all before rolling it out, knead in.
water * Place the dough between two sheets of unbleached parchment paper, and roll it.
out until it is about 1/4 inch thick (any thinner, the cookies are more.
likely to burn in the oven, and will crack when you try to coat them in.
Cut out rounds that are about 1 1/2-inches in diameter.
To remove the rounds from the surrounding cookie dough, peel the paper away.
from them while pulling up gently on the rounds.
Place each round on a prepared baking sheet 1-inch apart from each other.
Gather and reroll any scraps, and repeat the process.
Place one baking sheet at a time in the center of the preheated oven and bake.
for 7 minutes or until the cookies no longer glisten in the center.

until the chocolate has begun to thicken a bit and the chunks have melted.
GLAZE THE COOKIES

Press down on the cookie with the tines of a (dipping or regular) fork, then.
flip it gently in the chocolate.
Pull the cookie out of the chocolate tapping the handle of the fork on the side of the bowl to remove some excess.
and break any air bubbles.
Carefully drag the bottom of the fork (along with the bottom of the cookie).
along the edge of the bowl to remove any drips, and carefully place the.
cookie on a clean sheet of parchment paper.
