• Chocolate sprinkles

Chocolate Sauce

• 56g Semi Sweet Chocolate chips 
• 3/4 tsp Corn syrup (I used pan cake syrup)

1. Pre heat oven to 170 Degree C. Line baking sheet with baking paper and keep aside.

5. Bake for 9 to 10 minutes, remove from the oven and make indentation in middle of the cookie. I used back of a small rounded measuring tsp to make the indentation. 
6. Pop the cookies back into the oven and  bake for 7 to 9 minutes or until the edges turn light brown.
7. Remove from the oven and let it cool for few minutes in the tray .Transfer the cookies onto a wire rack and let them cool completely.Meanwhile make the chocolate sauce to fill the cookies.
