- Using a small cookie scoop or a tablespoon, scoop out some of the dough and roll it in your hands to form a dough.
- Place the dough balls on a lined baking sheet.
- Dip your thumbor a ¼ tsp measure in a bit of cold water and press an indentation into each of the cookies.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until lightly golden along the edges. Using a ¼ tsp measure, make another indent when cookies are hot.

- To make the Amarula cream, combine the white chocolate and Amarula liquor in a medium-sized microwavable bowl and place in the microwave for 30-second bursts, stirring in between until the chocolate has melted and the Amarula is completely combined.
