Hi.. these look amazing and I’m going to try them for Easter. From making other things you have posted I know this recipe will also be a five-star. But, could you tell me what you used to make that perfectly round imprint in your cookies to fill with the chocolate? My thumbprints never look that perfect! Thank you.
