Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
*For the top layer, have the chocolate thin so it will spread or run over the top easily.

*These cookies are very rich and should be cut into tiny pieces. They have a flavor similar to chocolate butter creams.

*They make a large amount because of the size of the cookie.

*KEEP REFRIGERATED.
