Ingredient Notes
- In its most basic form, white sugar serves as a straightforward sweetener, fulfilling its purpose without fanfare or fuss.
- While we often rely on salted for its ease of use, there are instances where unsalted may be a better option? Even if you’re working with unsalted butter, a discreet dash of additional salt won’t go amiss. Ensure the item has reached a comfortable room temperature.
- Grab pure, unadulterated pumpkin puree, carefully distinguishing it from its sweet, pie-filled counterpart.
- Just pour with love.
- Combine one teaspoon of ground cinnamon, a half-teaspoon each of ground nutmeg and ground cloves, and a eighth-teaspoon of ground ginger.
- For a less sweet treat, consider using semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips instead. We’re just team milk chocolate.
- Unless you’re a fan of lumpy frosting, make sure to strain any solids from the mixture before incorporating it into your final product.
- Ensure that it remains at a comfortable ambient temperature. Why not consider using a lower-fat option instead? You likely won’t perceive any variation.
Evenly Sized Cookies
The uniformity of sandwich cookies plays a significant role in their overall appeal, making it easier for consumers to stack and enjoy them.
Using a cookie scoop ensures perfectly portioned cookies with minimal effort and no guesswork required. One to two heaping tablespoons make for a perfect serving size. Level the dough evenly with the edge of the bowl to guarantee uniform scoops of identical proportions.
Ensure the dough is uniform in size before rolling it into neat, rounded balls. Since they’re all approximately the same size and shape, they will distribute evenly, yielding a batch of uniform cookies.
Storage & Freezing Instructions
Store cookies in an airtight container for up to five days. The cream cheese frosting requires consistent refrigeration to maintain its optimal consistency and texture. Allow the dish to rest at room temperature for approximately ten minutes prior to serving, if possible.
Position the sandwiches in a single layer on a baking sheet, and then refrigerate or freeze them for approximately one to two hours, allowing them to solidify completely before further use. To preserve freshness, individually wrap each sandwich in plastic wrap, then place the wrapped sandwiches within a resealable freezer bag or an airtight container for secure storage. These will keep in the freezer for up to two months. To thaw frozen foods safely, place them in the refrigerator for several hours or leave them there overnight.
