6
Place cookies on a cookie tray lined with parchment paper and press your thumb in the center to make indentations.
7
Bake at 350 degrees F for about ⏱️ 12-15 minutes.

Note: When you remove the cookies from the oven, you will notice the indentations are not that deep anymore. Just press the back of a wooden spoon or the round bottom of a measuring spoon into the center again. You must do this quickly before the cookies have a chance to cool down.
9
While the cookies are cooling, prepare chocolate ganache by heating heavy cream and chocolate chips in a nonstick saucepan over medium heat. When the mixture is smooth and glossy, let it cool down and thicken a bit.
