Mini chocolate chips

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill until firm. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Roll the dough out on a lightly floured counter to 1/4-inch thickness and cut, then transfer the cookies onto cookie sheets that have been lined with parchment paper or silicone liners. Bake 8 to 10 minutes, until the surface of the cookies looks completely dry and set. Let the cookies cool slightly on the sheets, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Decorate, if desired, before serving.

Milk Chocolate Ganache

Bring 3/4 cup heavy cream to a boil in a small saucepan. Add 1 3/4 cups milk chocolate chips, turn off the heat, and let sit for 5 minutes. Stir until completely melted and smooth. (If the chips are not completely melted, return the saucepan to low heat for a minute or two, stirring constantly.)

Enjoy!
