I’m sure that would have been yummy too, but we decided to use one our favorite from scratch recipes. Or use one of our many other chocolate chip cookie recipes:

Cool in pans for 5 minutes, then carefully remove to wire racks to cool completely. CHOCOLATE FILLING. When cookies have cooled, melt your chocolate chips in a small pot, over the lowest heat setting, stirring constantly. Be sure not to over heat chocolate.

Allow them to cool before removing them from the pan and then fill with delicious chocolate or other sweet goodness. Melting the Chocolate
