Notes

Recipe Notes

  • Freezing: Cookies freeze well up to 2 months. Cool completely, store in airtight container with parchment between layers. Thaw at room temp and microwave 10–15 seconds for gooey filling.
  • Bake Time: Oven temps vary, cookies are done when edges are set and centers are slightly soft. They firm up as they cool.
  • Make Ahead: Bake cookies ahead and add filling on serving day for best texture.
  • Cookie Size: For smaller cookies, reduce baking time and size of filling well accordingly.
