Stir in the flour, brandy and ginger., Drop by teaspoonfuls, 3 at a time, 3 in. apart onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake at 350° for 7-8 minutes or until golden brown., Cool for 30-45 seconds. Working quickly, loosen each cookie and curl around a thick wooden spoon handle. (If cookies become too cool to shape, return to oven for 1 minute to soften.)

Just before serving, pipe cream mixture into cookies. Sprinkle ends with chocolate if desired.
