The proportions on this recipe were off. I measured everything carefully. I ended up with 35 cookies. I baked at the correct temperature. At 8 minutes they were no where close to done. At 10-11 minutes they had risen nicely and I took them out. I used a spoon to make the indentations - it was basically collapsing the structure. When they cooled they were completely flat. I had made the tootsie roll ganache by this time so I just drizzled it across the tops. The cookies are cool but still much too soft to support the ganache, if you pick up a cookie, it just bends.. I think the flour probably needs to be doubled. They taste okay.

The tootsie roll ganache is good - I like the ganache way better than tootsie rolls..
