   6) Press the balls down firmly with your hand. If the dough balls are not pressed down, the cookie will not cook properly. They did not spread out evenly on their own.

    11) Dip the top portion of the cookie into the chocolate and place the cookie on wax paper to allow the chocolate to dry.

    12) One chocolate bar should cover about 12 small cookies really well.
