Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

Ensure the butter is properly softened for both the cookies and the filling to achieve the best texture. When flattening the cookie dough balls, aim for uniform thickness to bake evenly. Let cookies cool thoroughly before assembling to prevent the cream from melting.
