The cookie dough is done first with the help of a kitchen aid, then the cookies are baked, and cooled completely. In the meantime, you will need to make the chocolate cremeux, so it can cool down completely as well.
Once the cookies are cooled, and so is the chocolate cremeux, the chocolate cremeux is put into a piping bag, and piped on top of the cooled cookies.
