Notes
For softer cookies, bake for the shorter time range. For crispier cookies, extend baking by a few minutes. Freeze cookies individually on a tray before storing. Assemble sandwich cookies quickly to maintain a firm filling. Customize flavors with caramel extract, pumpkin spice, or cocoa powder. Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
