2. Shape dough into 1 in. balls. Using your thumb, press a thumbprint into the center; fill with a piece of chocolate and fold dough over to cover chocolate. 3. Place balls 2 in. apart on baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Bake 9 to 11 min. or until edges are firm and tops are soft.

To reheat cookies, place cookie on microwave-safe plate and microwave on high for 5 sec., or until cookie is slightly warm. |
