Notes
PRO TIPS:
If you make these cookies gluten free and dairy free, you might have to reshape them a little bit when they come out of the oven. You can do this by pinching them back into an avocado shape.
To draw the chocolate face on, use a toothpick for the most precision. Work slowly and use a light touch. If you mess up, you can always wipe off the chocolate and start over!
