Can I freeze the cookie dough for later?

Absolutely, These vanilla cream sandwich cookies freeze beautifully. Roll the dough into balls (without flattening) and freeze on a baking sheet for an hour before transferring to a freezer bag. They'll keep for 3 months this way. When you're ready, just bake from frozen - add an extra minute or two to the baking time. The filling? Always make that fresh when you're ready to assemble - frozen filling gets weirdly grainy.

Help, My vanilla filling is too runny. What do I do?

Oh honey, we've all been there First, pop the filling in the fridge for 15 minutes - that often does the trick. If it's still too loose, add more powdered sugar a tablespoon at a time until it thickens up. Hot kitchen? That butter might have gotten too soft - a quick chill helps firm everything up. Worst case scenario? Call them "drizzle cookies" and pour the filling over the tops - still delicious

Are there vegan substitutes that work for this recipe?

You bet, For the cookies, use vegan butter and a flax egg (1 tbsp ground flax + 3 tbsp water, let sit 5 minutes). The texture will be slightly different but still tasty. For the filling, try vegan butter and add a teaspoon of cornstarch to help it set. Coconut milk works great instead of dairy milk - just use the thick part from the top of the can. My vegan friends go nuts for these

Why did my cookies spread too much?

Ah, the classic cookie conundrum Usually it means your butter was too soft or your dough was too warm. Next time, try chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking. Also, make sure you're measuring your flour correctly - too little makes for flat cookies. And pro tip: If your kitchen is really warm, bake one test cookie first to see if it spreads before committing the whole batch
