  3. Transfer the dough onto a floured surface, knead for about 5-7 minutes, and roll out to ½ inch thickness.
  4. Use a round cookie cutter to cut out circles from the rolled dough. Chill in the freezer for 15 minutes if sticky.

  6. Place coated patties on parchment paper and refrigerate for about 20 minutes until chocolate is hardened.
