Temper the chocolate, or proceed with melted chocolate instead. In either case, pour 1/2 ounce chocolate into each cupcake liner.", "Use the pastry bag to pipe about three quarters of an ounce of cookie dough directly into the center of each cup. This will force the chocolate away from the center and up the sides. (You can see step by step photos of this process", ".)", "Use a damp finger to gently pat down the ""peak"" of each cookie dough center.
