How do I get the chocolate to be firm and not melt at room temperature?
More chocolate, less cream in the ganach. I assume this is a ganach?
Really, it should be fine at room temperature at a 50/50 ratio.

I've been using straight up chocolate.
Don't think you have to use a ganach for these
Temper it.

how do I temper it without ruining the biscuit?
>>8942466
Temper the biscuit first.
>>8942466
You temper it before adding it to the biscuit ya dingus

that would be just time consuming

You're melting chocolate to add to biscuit in the first place, tempering is just part of the process.

Kill yourself
What be tempering that not sword?
You'll need to tell us what kind of chocolate your using if you're just using straight chocolate. For all I know your using nestle tollhouse chips, which are going to work differently than couverture chocolate.
And tempering isn't going to do shit, it makes chocolate shiny and smooth, and doenst do anything for melting.
My advice? Make a ganach using good pure chocolate, let it cool to semisoft (think creamcheese) pipe it on to the cookies, and if it seems a little soft, left them firm up in the fridge for a bit.

Type I chocolate melts at 63 F, type V melts at 93.
