Note

Storage: Store assembled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week. Let refrigerated cookies come to room temperature before serving for best texture.

Variation: For a festive twist, divide the filling in half. Add 1/8 teaspoon peppermint extract and a drop of pink or green food coloring to half of the filling for peppermint-flavored sandwiches.

Tip: Ensure the dough is well-chilled before rolling into balls to prevent the cookies from spreading too much during baking.
