Notes
- - Dough can be frozen. Just wrap each piece of dough in Saran Wrap and insert a plastic zip top bag. Don't forget to label your bag. To thaw simply leave in the fridge overnight. - Dough can be made 2-3 in advance and placed in the fridge. To make it a little softer, leave it at room temperature for at least 30 minutes- This cookie can be made with any other filling like chocolate spread and jam. - Cookies should be stored in an airtight container and kept at room temperature up to a week.
