9. Use your hands to roll the batter into a log. Press the batter tightly resulting in a 2-inch log.

12. Remove the cookie log from the refrigerator.

15. Position the cookie slices on the prepared cookie sheet one inch away from another slice.
16. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes.
17. (The top of the cookies will start to turn a light golden brown.)

3. Once completely melted, use a fork to drizzle chocolate over the cookies.
4. Allow the chocolate drizzle to harden.
