I think your cookie looks adorable, and no one will even notice those little craters. That being said, I know exactly how you’re feeling. Because those areas are so small, you can afford to go really thick with your icing - 25 seconds or even more. If the dots don’t settle the way you like with thicker icing, you can use your scribe tool or a damp paintbrush to help flatten them.
